THE FRONT END IS TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND AND THE UNIT CRACKS EVERY TIME PULLED INTO A PARKING AREA WITH CEMENT ABUTMENTS. THE WHOLE FRONT HAS TO BE REPLACED. SHOULD BE A SEPARATE UNIT! CRACKED TWO TIMES OVER $2K DAMAGE.

#707587 | June 15, 1999

THE WHEELS ON THE FRONT OF THIS CAR BEND AT THE RIMS DUE TO THEIR LOW PROFILE AND THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF THIS AUTOMOBILE. THIS CAR DRIVEN FOR CASUAL USE ONLY HAS THE RIMS DENTED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE DEALER STATED THIS WAS DUE TO DRIVING ROADS IN WEST VIRGINIA, AND THE TIRE WAS SO NARROW IT WOULD ALWAYS BEND THE RIM. I ASKED WHY WASN'T I INFORMED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AND HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW. THIS COULD EASILY BREAK THE SEAL CAUSING A PREMATURE BLOW OUT AND A MAJOR WRECK. *AK
