Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE TOLL ROAD @ APPROX. 55 MPH, THE REAR SUSPENSION SNAPPED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED AT APPROX 20 MPH AND EXIT THE TOLL ROAD. UPON PARKING, I WAS ABLE TO EXAMINE THE REAR AND SAW THAT THE COMPLETE REAR SUSPENSION WAS RUSTED THROUGH AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SNAPPED OFF. AFTER HAVING TWO MECHANICS LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE, WE ARE BEING TOLD IT IS NOT REPAIRABLE. WE ALSO JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED APPROX 3 MONTHS AGO AND ARE NOT SURE WHAT THE NEXT STEP SHOULD BE. AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATION ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A RECALL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNERS AND NOW THE RECALL TIME PERIOD HAS LAPSED. *TR
