Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH; DRIVING STRAIGHT WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE I HAD RAN SOMETHING. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED LIKE A RUBBER BAND UNWINDING AND BEGAN VIBRATING SEVERELY AT RIGHT FRONT. IT APPEARED I MIGHT LOSE CONTROL. I DE-ACCELERATED AND SAFELY EXITED THE HIGHWAY. I COULD SEE NOTHING WRONG WHEN VISIBLY INSPECTING THE VEHICLE. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED A DAMAGED CV BOOT, CV JOINT AND THREE FRACTURED BOLTS FOR THE UPPER ENGINE MOUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. TWO OF FRACTURE SURFACES APPEARED THEY HAD BEEN FRACTURED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE THIRD BOLT HAD A FRACTURE SURFACE THAT WAS ROUGH AND CRYSTALLINE IN APPEARANCE ) ALLUDING TO INSTANTANEOUS FRACTURE OF THE BOLT.
