Consumer Description

FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR( USUALLY MY WIFE IS DRIVING IT) STOPPED TO A STOP LIGHT, ACTUALLY I TRIED TO STOP, BUT, THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING. AT THE SAME TIME, I NOTICED A VERY HIGH ENGINE REVS, AND THE CAR WAS MOVING, EVEN WITH ME PRESSING HARD THE BREAKS. LUCKILY, WE GOT GREEN LIGHT, AND NOTHING MAJOR HAPPENED. BUT, THE WORST PART IS THAT, I NOTICED, ABOVE THE FRONT WHEELS, SOME SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, PARTS, NUTS, AT ONLY 5 MM OR LESS. IS RIGHT ABOVE THE FRONT WHEELS. IT IS NOT ON THE SIDE, AS SUPPOSED TO BE. THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THAT PART AND THE WHEELS SHOULD BE A LOT MORE. TO ME, IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. THERE IS A RECALL ABOUT IT? IT SAFE TO DRIVE? TO ME LOOKS NOT.
