Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO PRODUCE TIRE SCREECHING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND APPEARED TO BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. WITHIN A FEW MILES, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, AND THEN THE DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL OFF AND TRACTION LOSS LIGHTS CAME ON. UPON INSPECTION AT AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP, THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF THE FRAME HAD SEVERELY RUSTED. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THERE WAS NO OTHER RUST OR DAMAGE ON THE VEHICLE.
