Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY STEERING WHEEL ROTATED CLOCKWISE AND WAS AT AN ANGLE AND MY CAR CONTINUED TO GO STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. IT FELT AS IF I WERE DRIVING ON ICE AND WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. WHILE MAKING A TURN MY FRONT TIRES BEGAN TO SQUEAL. IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. WHEN BRAKING THE CAR SHOOK DRAMATICALLY. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO MECHANIC BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLY SOMETHING WITH THE STEERING. THE MECHANIC CALLED BACK AND WAS SHOCKED TO TELL ME THE SUB FRAME WAS COMPLETELY ROTTEN AND HAD BROKEN. IT WAS HARD FOR HIM TO BELIEVE THAT A CAR THAT WAS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD WOULD HAVE THAT MUCH CORROSION ON THE FRAME. I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THE ENTIRE 8 YEARS WITH NO ACCIDENTS AT ALL.
