Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JUNE 2009. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. AT FIRST THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCK ON THE RIGHT SIDE UNDER THE HOOD, WHICH ENDED UP BEING THE CONTROL ARM- COMPLETELY LOOSE AND ALMOST DISCONNECTED. IT HADN'T BEEN LIKE THAT WHEN I MADE THIS WASTE OF A PURCHASE. OVER THE LAST 20 MONTHS (12/2/2011), THE PROBLEMS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE (AND MORE EXPENSIVE). THE LOUD BANG IS BACK, ADDING TO IT A LACK OF FULL CONTROL OF STEERING. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIE ROD (ENTIRE SYSTEM) AND THE RACK AND PINION. I UNDERSTAND WHY THIS CAR WAS DISCONTINUED, JUST NOT WHY THERE WAS NO RECALL. *TR
