Consumer Description

MANUFACTURER APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED TO GREASE BALL JOINTS DURING ASSEMBLY. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT TWO PURCHSED GREASE JOBS ALSO WERE NOT ACTUALLY PERFORMED BY THE DEALER. AT 7,000 MILES THE FRONT END WAS MAKING GRINDING NOISE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LURCHING ON TURNS. THE DEALER'S FIX IS TO GREASE THE BALL JOINTS AND SEND US BACK ON THE ROAD WITHOUT AN INSPECTION NOR ALIGNMENT CHECK.
