Consumer Description

UPON EXITING HIGHWAY RAMP, WHILE STEERING A LEFT TURN OFF OF THE RAMP, I HEARD A FAIRLY LOUD THUD SOUND. ONCE I CAME OUT OF THE TURN THE SOUND DISAPPEARED. THIS NOISE WAS STARTLING, AS I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR. I REVIEWED THE CARFAX AND DID NOT NOTE ANY PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE REPORTS AND THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY ONE PREVIOUS OWNER WITH A PERSONAL LEASE. I HAVE HAD CONTROL ARM PROBLEMS IN THE PAST WITH MY PONTIAC GRAND AM AND THIS SOUND WAS VERY FAMILIAR TO ME. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS ISSUE AND ON THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY. THIS COULD CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS IF THE CONTROL ARM BREAKS AND PULL FROM THE AXLE. *TR
