Consumer Description

THE RUBBER SEAL AROUND THE FRONT STEERING BALL JOINTS RUPTURED, CAUSING ALL LUBRICANT TO LEAK OUT. THE CAR PULLS RIGHT AND MAKES A SLIGHT NOISE WHEN STEARING, DUE TO ADVANCED WEAR. I CONTACTED BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFATURER, BUT SINCE THE CARS JUST CAME OUT OF WARRANTY, THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED.
