Consumer Description
I MADE A U-TURN IN MY VEHICLE ON A TOWN STREET , AS I COMPLETED THE U-TURN THE VEHICLES REAR SUSPENSION BROKE. THE BROKEN SUSPENSION MADE THE VEHICLE FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP, THE SUSPENSION BEING BROKE MADE THE WHEELS TURN IN TOWARDS THE WHEEL WELLS WHERE IT RUBBED AND EVENTUALLY BLEW MY TIRE. I WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PULL OFF SAFELY. WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT TOO A AUTO SHOP THEY TOLD ME THE SUSPENSION RUSTED IN TWO .IT HAD TO BE MOVED WITH A FLAT BED. I HAD THE VEHICLES FRONT FIXED IN JANUARY OF 2017 . WHICH WAS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS SO THE VEHICLES REAR TOOK AN EXTRA THREE YEARS TO RUST OUT WHICH IS ONLY TWO YEARS OVER THE WARRANTY. I HAVE ENCLOSED A COPY OF BILL FROM WHEN THEN FRONT WAS DONE.
