NO EVENTS LEADING TO FAILURE. NOTICED ODD STEERING AROUND MARCH 2004. CAR PULLS TO LEFT ON ACCELERATION, ONCE CAR SHIFTS, PULLS HARD TO RIGHT. BROUGHT TO LOCAL MECHANIC IN AUGUST 2004 AFTER ALMOST HITTING A SEMI. THEY SAID CONTROL ARMS/BUSHINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AFTER DRIVING THE CAR LESS THAN A MILE. THEY TRIED TO ORDER PARTS, FOUND THEY WERE DEALER ONLY PARTS, PREPAY ONLY, NO RETURNS. LOCAL MECHANIC WOULD NOT SERVICE THE CAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM. CHARGED ME $50 FOR DIAGNOSITC, EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. ORDERED PARTS ON 8/12/04. DEALER SAID IT WAS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE, TIRE WILL NOT FALL OFF OR ANYTHING.

KNOWN NUBIRA 2000 PROBLEM. BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE DEFECTIVE AND BUSHINGS SHOT (DESIGN FLAW).

PART ORDERED ON 4/23/2002 FROM DEALER. TO DATE, PART HAS NOT BEEN DELIVERED AND HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT MANUFACTURER HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. VEHICLE UNSAFE. *TT
