Consumer Description

THE CAR SEEMED AT FIRST TO BE HYDROPLANING DUE TO THE RAIN, BUT THEN IT GOT MUCH WORSE. WHEN I REMOVED THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL, I SAW THE REAR AXLE BEAM HAD SNAPPED AT THE WELD POINT. THE CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THAT WE SHOULD HAVE HAD IT TOWED IN BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE WHEELS WILL SHEAR AWAY FROM THE SUSPENSION WHEN THE BEAM IS BROKEN. THIS CAR HAS ONLY BEEN IN ONE MINOR ACCIDENT, WITH MINIMAL BODY DAMAGE AND NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE BODY STRUCTURE, SO THIS WAS WITHOUT QUESTION A MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE PART. *TR
