Consumer Description

1- THERE WAS NOT ANY SYMPTOM LEADING UP TO FAILURE. 2- THE FAILURE WAS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. THE WELD ON ONE OF THE CONTROL ARMS ACTUALLY BROKE OFF THE FRAME. AS A RESULT THE WHEEL WAS ALLOWED MOVE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION THEN THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. THIS FORCED THE VEHICLE OFF THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A VERY IMMEDIATE UNCONTROLLED MANNER. 3- THERE WAS NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS OF YET. DEALER DOESN'T HAVE ANY INTEREST IN FIXING THE VEHICLE UNLESS WE PAY FOR IT. *NM
