Consumer Description

STARTED FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM UNDER THE CAR. LOOKED UNDER THE CAR TO SEE IF I HAD HIT SOMETHING.NOTHING IN SIGHT.AS I DROVE HOME, I NOTICED THE CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHTAND THE AIR BAG LIGHT BLINKED. DEALER INVESTIGATED AND STATED THAT I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING VERY HARD BECAUSE THE SUB FRAME ASSEMBLY AND PASSENGER LOWER CONTROL ARM WERE BENT. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER AND HAVE NEVER HIT ANYTHING. REPAIR CHARGE WAS $2056. *AK
