MY FRONT TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO BREAK OFF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOWER BALL JOINTS,STEERING CONTROL ARM, INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS; ACCELERATES ALL BY ITSELF. WILL NOT LOCK SHIFTER WITH KEY OUT OF IGNITION. ECM IS FAULTY BECAUSE IT SHUTS THE LIGHTS OFF,TURNS ENGINE,ALL LIGHTS, OFF . UNPREDICTABLY! SEAT BELTS DO NOT ENGAGE WHEN STOPPING. IF I WERE TO BE CRITICALLY INJURED BECAUSE OF MALFUNCTIONING OF SAID VEHICLE? WHO WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF MY SAFETY AND WELL BEING? THIS ALL HAPPENS WHILE OPERATION OF VEHICLE. TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 55 MPH. ABS MALFUNCTIONS AS WELL EVEN WHEN DRIVING 15 MPH. *TR

I CALLED DEALER/SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND IF NOT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY COULD SNAP. I ASKED IF THIS IS NORMAL FOR A CAR TWO YEARS OLD, ANSWER WAS NO. I ASKED IF THEY HAVE SEEN ANY OTHER CASES OF THIS. THE ANSWER WAS YES, A FEW. SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT PRIOR TO 1996 MODELS THIS PART COULD BE GREASED AND NO PROBLEMS OCURRED, BEGINNING WITH THE 1996 MODEL THERE IS NO WAY TO GREASE THIS PART, THEREFORE THE WEARING OCCURS
