| Description of the problem | Turned into the street leading to my home,started to accelerate, heard a loud noise and the vehicle swerved into the opposite lane. This is a narrow road, and luckily there was no oncoming traffic,or there would have been an accident. Limped the vehicle home and saw it was drooping down on the drivers side and the rear wheel was out of position. Towed to dealer and was diagnosed as broken lower link or control arm. My bill was 1600. 00 to replace right and left arms and parts. This is not right,as it is only 6 years old with 48k miles. This is definetly a defect and this vehicle should be recalled before someone is hurt or worse. Thank you |
