The front control arms broke 2 times within the last 2 years from corrosion! No warning lights
POOR PERFORMANCE FROM THE FRONT END SUSPENSION MAKING TURNING THE CAR DANGEROUS.
VEHICLE WAS ON THE OFF RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD AND FRONT LEFT TIRE WENT FLAT. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE TIRE WAS FLAT DUE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED AND THE BOLT OF THE LOWER BALL JOINT ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS DRIVEN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE RIM AND PUNCTURING A HOLE INTO THE RIM. HAD THIS HAPPENED A FEW SECONDS EARLIER, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS, CAUSING A CRASH, PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.
My front lower Control Arm was replaced for corrosian in June 2019, broke in August 2020, and is being replaced again due to corrosion April 2022! This car is a danger to my family as well as other on the road!
ON 5/15/2020 MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR JEEP LOCALLY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVERS SIDE SUSPENSION GAVE OUT AND LANDED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE TURNED INWARD HE HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING. HE WAS ONLY DOING MAYBE 30MPH IF HE HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER HE COULD'VE BEEN KILLED. IT COSTS US $700 TO REPAIR BOTH SIDES AND IS STILL AT THE GARAGE BEING WORKED ON. MY HUSBAND WAS ON A 1 WAY 4 LANE BRIDGE HE MANAGED TO GET IT HALFWAY OUT OF THE LANE BLOCKING TRAFFIC THE POLICE CAME TO DIVERT TRAFFIC UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. *TR
VEHICLE WAS DRIVING NORMALLY AND WAS IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARM JUST BROKE WITHOUT WARNING DUE TO CORROSION. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CONTROL ARM LANDED ONTO THE WHEEL MAKING IT SO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL COULD NO LONGER TURN. I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED TO ME IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED.
ON OCT 4, 2019, AS I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH ON A DRY, SMOOTH ROAD, MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER FRONT BALL JOINT FAILED. THE FRONT OF MY CAR DROPPED AS A RESULT, AND I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT STRIKE ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR BARRIER OF ANY KIND.
TAKATA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING AND THE RIGHT BALL JOINT BROKE AND IT FELL AND POPPED MY TIRE.
