Consumer Description

I NOW WILL HAVE TO GET THE COMPLETE REAR AXEL AND OTHER COMPONENTS REPLACED BEFORE I CAN DRIVE IT AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THESE ISSUES. IT'S COMPLETE NEGLIGENCE THAT THIS TAKES PLACE TO SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES. I'M JUST THANKFUL I GOT IT TO MY MECHANIC BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE FJ WITH MY 4 1/2 & 1 1/2 YEAR OLD INSIDE. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT.
