Consumer Description

VEHICLE PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKING. THE DEALER AND A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP CLAIMS IT IS DUE TO A WORN FRONT TRACK BAR, FAILING U-JOINTS, AND SWAY BAR LINKS. THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT BE WEARING OUT AT THIS LOW OF MILEAGE. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE UPCOMING WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS THAT LOSS OF CONTROL IS POSSIBLE DUE TO THE POOR HANDLING WITH THE DEFECTIVE PARTS.
