| Description of the problem | I'm just going to list the problems with dates to make it easier to get a visual of the problem! 2009 4x4 indicator light came on - oil leaking out of some 4x4 box/bearings missing went bad 50,000 miles can't remember the exact name of the part, but could call the dealer and find out what it was, 3/7/12 - cv nut lock covers needed replaced - rusted out, left outer tie rod replaced, 3/17/13 - both control arms replaced, 4/3/13 - right tie rod (inner and outer) replaced, 1/17/14, front engine cradle replaced, 3/28/14 - right wheel bearing replaced, both controls arms replaced again, axle replaced, 5/16/14 - notified that right tie rod needed replaced again. This is by far one of the most poorly designed vehicles that i have owned. It currently has 80,000 miles on it and all of the things replaced should not have needed replaced and not have needed to be replaced twice to boot! I would never again purchase or recommend purchase to anyone. Parts going bad this quickly is a danger to any other parts that may go unnoticed until it's too late! |
