Consumer Description
I noticed some alignment issues becoming progressively worse with my car. Suddenly in a parking garage my front right tire over rotated and became stuck in the wheel well. I was able to free the wheel and the car said "alighnment issues but car is safe to drive." I drove home with my sister and her baby on the highway. Then I got off the highway and the car did the same thing becoming stuck in the middle of an intersection. I was able to free the car and proceed carefully home. The next morning my front control arm completely broke free and was dragging on the ground leaving the car completely inoperable. I never had any accident or hit any curb with the car. In fact we brought it in 1 year ago to check alignment issues on the same front right suspension. In the shop now the service technician is saying this is a known issue on the MY resulting from not torqueing the bolts enough. I am shocked that the car has not been recalled for this known issues that is a major safety impact. I don't trust this car at all and frankly makes me question the oversight of NHTSA. When I look online apparently many people have been talking about this issue for over a year.
