| Description of the problem | The car began pulling in the front right tire intermittently. I was a half mile from home, so i turned around to go back home. As i drove into the driveway, the front right tire and entire front right suspension completely fell down (almost completely off) and the tire was pushed sideways and into the frame of the wheel well on the car. The car came to an immediate and abrupt halt. Had i been driving on the road when this occurred, my car would have flipped and i would have crashed and could have been killed! This is a huge safety problem and defect that i believe should be part of a recall. I have read many reports of problems with this model/year concerning the wheel bearings, lower control arms, and tie rods. I have great concern driving this vehicle in the future after it is repaired. |
