Consumer Description

TRACK BAR BRACKET ON THE EXIT FROM MY DRIVEWAY TO THE ROAD THE CAR STARTED TO DRIVE ERRATICALLY. AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT REAR RIGHT TRACK BAR BRACKET IS COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE CAR BODY. IT LOOKS LIKE A COMPLETE STRUCTURE FAILURE. FORTUNATELY, THE FAILURE HAPPENED AT VERY LOW SPEED AND NO ONE WAS HARMED. PHOTOS OF THE CAR ARE ENCLOSED.
