WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING A SPACE THE FLEXIBLE BALL JOINT HOUSING CAME APART. THIS CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED COMPLETELY AROUND. *AK THE FLEX JOINT HOUSING BOLT WENT OUT. THE FLEX JOINT HOUSING BOLTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE SLIP RING WAS DAMAGED TO THE WHEEL SPRING. *SCC *JB

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT STRUT HAS FAILED. THE STRUT HAS BROKEN HALF WAY AND APPEARS THAT IT JUST A MATTER OF TIME OR A BUMP BEFORE THE ENTIRE PIECE BREAKS OFF. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE CONTROL WILL BE LOST. A FEW MONTHS AGO I REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE STRUT BECAUSE THAT STRUT SPRING BASE FAILED, AT THE TIME I CONSIDERED A FREAK OCCURRENCE AND JUST REPLACED THE STRUT. NOW THAT THE OTHER STRUT IS FAILING I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SINCE I NEED MY CAR TO TRAVEL TO WORK AND I AM PLANNING ON TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. *JB

RADIATOR FAILURE AT THE TOP HOSE CONNECTION POINT. LATER LEARNED THAT THE MATERIAL USED IS QUITE UNRELIABLE -- SO I REPLACED ALL THE PLASTIC I COULD FIND IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. $1200. I EXPECT I'LL HAVE TO DO IT ALL AGAIN IN ANOTHER YEAR OR SO.
