1998 ACURA CL Suspension Problems

DRIVING INTO WORK ON THURSDAY THE 16TH OF APRIL, 2015 I WAS ROUNDING A DESIGNATED U-TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 3-5MPH. AS I WAS MIDWAY THROUGH THE TURN, MY CAR DROPPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND A SCRAPPING NOISE STARTED TO SOUND. MY CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND A GRINDING NOISE MADE ME WEARY TO MOVE. BECOMING STATIONARY, I WAS SIDEWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH CARS APPROACHING. I PROCEEDED TO SLOWLY INCH MY CAR OUT OF THE ROAD AND INTO A SAFE LOCATION WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. WHEN I LIFTED MY CAR UP USING THE JACK IN THE TRUNK I COULD VISIBLY SEE MY LOWER BALL JOINT HAD COME OUT OF THE SOCKET AND THE SUSPENSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS COLLAPSED. IF THIS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY HALF A MILE BEFORE THE LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT I WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY 75. I AM LUCKY THAT THIS COMPONENT...

A COUPLE MONTHS AGO MY CAR STARTED TO HAVE WOBBLING. TOOK IT TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT THAT DID NOT WORK SO THEN I BOUGHT ALL NEW TIRES AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM SO I TOOK IT TO ACURA AND THEY CLAIM IT IS THE TIRES SO I CHANGED THE TIRES WITH WIDER TIRES STILL THE PROBLEM IS THERE . MY CAR IS A LUXURY CAR IT SHOULD RIDE SMOOTH AND IT IS NOT. *NLM

THERE WAS ABOUT TWO INCHES OF PLAY WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL DUE TO THE STEERING COLUMN COUPLING NOT CONNECTING TO THE STEERING WHEEL. DEALER REPLACED SOME PARTS WITHIN THE STEERING COUPLING. WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, VEHICLE WILL GO FROM LANE TO LANE. ALSO, THERE ARE GAS FUMES WITHIN THE VEHICLE/ TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND THE DASH HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SOME TYPE OF BLACK SPOTS ON THE DASHBOARD. *AK

WHEN DRIVING ON FLAT SURFACE AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH, 1500RPMS THE VEHICLE WILL JERK AND PULL FOR APPROX. 30 SECONDS OR UNTILL THE SPEED IS CHANGED. THE DEALERSHIP THINKS THAT THE COMPUTER IS THE PROBLEM, WHICH WILL IN SOME CASES AFFECT THE TRANSMISSION. *AK
