What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Front lower control arm mounting (rear mounting point) separated from the car. I got the car at 88k and had alignment problems since 2/15/2010. I changed all bushings and shocks at the time but still had front wear problems. Finally in march 2012 the front left tire started to run when turning or braking.
What to check before buying
- Suspension. Wheel alignment, control arms, subframe, even tire wear.
