| Description of the problem | I drove into a gas station and as i pulled in the tire sounded as if it was flat i checked it and it looked fine. I tried to drive of and the front drivers side wheel did not move. I removed the tire in the parking lot to try and find out what was wrong, i couldn't see any visual issues. As i backed out to try and drive the car the balljoint came out. I had to pay to get my car towed from new jersey back to my town in ny for $110 and then on top of that had to pay to get towed again to a mechanic and with the repair fees ended up spending $500 for repairs. Also my oil light comes on when the car is in idle. Even came on as soon after i got an oil change. |
