Consumer Description

WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HE LOST CONTROL WHEN THE REAR AXLE MADE A LOUD NOISE AND REAR OF SUV VEERED OFF. HE RECOVERED THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. A LARGE PIECE OF THE SUSPENSION BAR THAT CONNECTED TO REAR AXLE WAS DETACHED FROM FRAME OF VEHICLE. HE DROVE SUV SLOWLY HOME THE REMAINING TWO BLOCKS. UPON INSPECTION BY MECHANIC (AND MYSELF) IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR STABILIZATION ARM TO THE AXLE WAS RUSTED TO THE EXTENT THAT IT SNAPPED OFF THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE BAR ATTACHED TO VEHICLE WAS ALSO RUSTED. THE MECHANIC ESTIMATED THAT THE BAR WOULD NEED TO BE WELDED BACK ON TO THE FRAME, HOWEVER, THE CORROSION ON THE FRAME WAS SUCH THAT THERE MIGHT NOT EVEN BE A POSSIBLE WELD SPOT. THE OTHER SIDE OF REAR SUSPENSION (PASSENGER SIDE) WAS ALSO HIGHLY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN RIGHT NOW. *TR
