Model Year	2004
File date	08/03/16
Component	SUSPENSION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Lower control arm failed causing a complete loss of steering due to rust. Car was starting out just after traffic light turned green so a very slow speed. This would have been much worse if i was traveling at a faster speed. Car was previously recalled for this same issue and the repair was to inspect and spray rust proofing on lower control arms. This was not an acceptable repair as it failed anyway. I have a 2006 same make and model with the same recall and it was sprayed with rust proofing. I expect it will fail also if something more is not done like replacing them. So far dealer refuses to replace them.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
