Consumer Description

LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE BUT WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION, NOTICED THAT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROL ARM WAS RUSTED THROUGH AND DISINTEGRATED. WHEEL WAS BASICALLY DETACHED FROM THE CAR AND FOLDING UP UNDER THE WHEEL WELL. THIS IS A RECALL ITEM IN ALL NORTHERN STATES BECAUSE THE MATERIAL RUSTS WHEN EXPOSED TO ROAD SALT. BECAUSE I'M IN NORTH CAROLINA, THE RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO MY CAR. HOWEVER, I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NC WHERE THE VEHICLE IS EXPOSED TO ROAD SALT THROUGHOUT THE WINTER SEASON. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AS IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
