Consumer Description

WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK CAME UP TO THE LIGHT AT PONTIAC TRAIL AND 10 MILE I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS WHAT SOUNDED LIKE METAL SCRAPPING AGAINST METAL AND A LOUD THUMP. LATER I MADE IT TO WORK ON NOVI ROAD BETWEEN 10 MILE AND GRAND RIVER I LOOKED BEHIND THE DRIVER WHEEL AND SAW THAT THE K FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND WHAT I THINK IS A STABILITY BAR IS BEING PULLED AWAY FROM THE FRAME. I HAVEN'T DROVE MY VEHICLE IN TWO DAYS BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE.
