Consumer Description

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE TO GO FORWARD, I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK. STOPPED FOR A MOMENT AND CHECKED UNDERNEATH AND FOUND THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE ROD HAD BROKEN OFF AND WAS HANGING ALMOST TO THE GROUND. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR PLACE FOR MAINTENANCE AND HAD IT REPAIRED. MY RESEARCH FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR YEAR MODELS UP THROUGH 2011 BUT NONE FOR 2012. *TR
