Consumer Description

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING PLACE, THE RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT BROKE AND CV JOINT BECAME DISCONNECTED, CAUSING THE WHEEL TO BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE CAR AND PUSHING THE WHEEL WELL BACK UNDER THE PASSENGER DOOR, MAKING IT INOPERABLE. THE TOW DRIVER SAID I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING REALLY HARD, BUT IN THE TWO AND A HALF YEARS I'VE HAD THIS CAR, I'VE NEVER HIT ANYTHING! I DRIVE A LOT FOR MY JOB AND AM GRATEFUL THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND HAS SHAKEN MY CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS, BUT THE MECHANIC TOLD ME WHILE THE OTHER BALL JOINT WAS SAFE ENOUGH FOR ME TO MAKE THE TRIP HOME (350 MILES), I SHOULD DEFINITELY GET IT CHECKED OUT AS WELL, AS IT LOOKED SUSPECT FOR THE LONG TERM. THE CAR IS AT THE MECHANIC NOW, AND I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK DRIVING IT HOME EARLIER TODAY. *TR
