| Description of the problem | Driving down the road when front control arm mount at subframe broke, causing steering and suspension to malfunction almost causing loss of control and accident. Luckily, nobody was in the oncoming lane, or i would have hit head on with another car and auto became hard to steer/control until i was able to brake down to lower speed. Kia has known recall for lower control arms rusting, but nothing per dealer for subframe rusting/breaking. This should be addressed. |
