VEHICLE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. WHEN EXITING LOUD NOISE COMING FROM FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. CONDITION WORSENED AS I GOT FURTHER AWAY FROM MY HOME. I REALIZED I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS AS THE NOISE WAS VERY LOUD AND I WAS SMELLING BURNT RUBBER. RETURNING HOME I SAW THE FRONT END HAD COLLAPSED. LAYING ON THE GROUND I COULD SEE THE SWAY BAR LINK HAD BROKEN AND WAS LODGED IN THE SPRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. REPAIRS TOTALED $950.00. FRONT STRUTS AND SPRING AND SWAY BAR LINK. COIL SPRINGS RUSTED AND BROKE. I WAS VERY LUCKY; IF I WAS DRIVING I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR HURT SOMEONE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SITUATION ON THIS VEHICLE.
