Consumer Description

FRONT END BALL JOINTS ARE FAULTY AND CAUSE THE CAR TO SOUND LIKE THE FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL OFF! I HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AS WELL...THIRD SET!! THE MECHANIC SAID THE BALL JOINT WOULD BREAK AND YOU COULD WRECK AS YOUR DRIVING! HAVE HAD THIS TROUBLE SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR..EVEN HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR FRONT END PROBLEMS THE FIRST THREE MONTHS THAT I HAD THE CAR! THE FRONT END IS NOT GOOD ON THIS CAR AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS! *TR
