Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING TODAY THE STEERING BECAME UNSTABLE, ERRATIC, AND THE CAR LURCHED OUT OF MY LANE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. A NEW NOISE APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM REAR LEFT TIRE. WHEN I SAFELY PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED VEHICLE I NOTED THE FRAME WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND THAT THE FORWARD WELDED MOUNT FOR THE LOWER SUSPENSION ARM HAD FRACTURED ALONG THE FACTORY WELD AND WAS DANGLING DOWN. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. IT HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND PASSED PA STATE INSPECTIONS YEARLY SINCE 2002. *TR
