Consumer Description

I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE FOR ALIGNMENT. THEY SAID BOLTS RELATED TO REAR TIE RODS WERE RUSTED AND THEY COULD NOT DO IT. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND POSSIBLE REPAIR. HE SAID THE SAME. IN ADDITION HE ALSO SAID THAT THE STRUTS ARE LEAKING. I LOOKED INTO THE HISTORY OF MY VEHICLE, AS I BOUGHT IT USED 2 YEARS AGO. I FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECALLED IN 2013 FOR SUSPENSION RELATED ISSUES. AND SOME 239000 VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED. I BELIEVE ITS THE SAME ISSUE WHICH HAS RESURFACED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS PERFECTLY FINE OTHERWISE. BY THE WAY I HAVE A SALVAGE TITLE OF THE VEHICLE ON MY NAME IF THAT IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
