Consumer Description

THE BACK END OF THE CAR BEGINS A VIOLENT WOBBLE UNEXPECTEDLY AT 50 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE STRAIGHT AND LEVEL. AFTER MUCH TROUBLE, THE DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THAT BUSHING FAILURES IN THE REAR AXLE LINK ASSEMBLYS ARE THE CULPRIT, AND THE CAR HAS ONLY 59,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS ERXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND SHOCKING THAT A WORN PART COULD CAUSE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
