| Description of the problem | While driving on the freeway and at freeway speeds the front passenger side suspension completely snapped with no accident or road debris involved. The wheel turned sideways and lost all control of the vehicle's ability to turn. The engine then gave a transmission failure warning and the engine cut out. Was able to get the car to the side lane and waited for triple a to show up until 5am. Took pictures of the front passenger side wheel which was basically dangling off of the vehicle. It was exceptionally dangerous. |
