CONTROL ARM CRACKED AND SPLIT WHILE PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE AN UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM, ONLY LOWER (MADE OF ALUMINUM FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION). IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD LIKELY HAVE VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND BE SERIOUSLY INJURED, OR EVEN WORSE, DEAD. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. *JS
