Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)RIGHT REAR CONTROL ARM BENT, LEADING TO MASSIVE MIS-ALIGNMENT, AND THE RUINING OF 4 TIRES. SAAB CLAIMS IT RESULTED FROM "ENERGY" NOT A DEFECT. THEY SAY I MUST HAVE DRIVEN IT "TOO HARD." I IN FACT BABIED THE CAR, DRIVING MODERATELY, HITTING NO MAJOR BUMPS OR HOLES. STATE FARM CLAIMS IT PROBABLY RESULTED FROM METAL FATIGUE, NOT AN IMPACT. WON'T PAY BECAUSE NOT IMPACT RELATED. I BELIEVE THE ARM WAS DEFECTIVE. ORDINARY DRIVING SHOULD NOT LEAD TO A BENT SUSPENSION.*AK
