Consumer Description

CONSUMER HAS MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. RECEIVED RECALL 00V414000 FOR TIE RODS. VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND MAKE NOISES AT TIMES. ALSO, SUPENSION WAS SQUEAKING ENOUGH TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER. LOWER AND UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND TIE RODS HAD TO BE REPLACED. CONSUMER HAD A FOREIGN AUTOMOBILE SHOP TO VERIFY PROBLEM. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE THAT A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. CONSUMER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR $1400.00 TO REPAIR IT. DEALER HAS NO EXPLANATION WHY IT WAS LIKE THIS.*AK
