Consumer Description

Front suspension bracket where the crossmember is welded to the frame. The weld failed and separated from the frame. Possible metal fatigue. Vehicle was driving in a straight line at low speeds when it became wobbly and unstable driving. Pulled to the right hard and almost caused a wreck. Components separated causing brakes to stop working, damage to oil pan, inner & outer tie rod, spring, shock, bushings, tire, wheel, and body damage. Would have been detrimental and potentially fatal if this happened with speeds higher. Vehicle is not drivable and had to be towed by rollback. Emergency brakes had to be used in order to stop vehicle.
