| Description of the problem | I was informed by the dealership of which i purchased my vehicle that my vehicle requires front control arms and tie rods which was given an estimate of about $900. 00 to correct. My vehicle has 17,000 miles and is out of warranty, however, i viewed numerous complaints online of the same nature on the same year, make, and model vehicle. This appears to be a defect from the manufacturer since there were so many identical complaints indicated online. The dealership requested i do not drive this vehicle until repaired due to a safety issue. The dealership also said the items which need to be repaired will be replaced with a better quality and this occurred on many of these vehicles from this particular year. |
