What owners wrote
While traveling between 25 and 30 MPH consumer suddenly lost control of steering and braking systems. Vehicle crashed into a tree which stopped the vehicle. Dealership has examined vehicle, and repaired unknown component in vehicle which caused this to happen. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Dt: the consumer's wife was driving on the street and the rear ball joints broke in half. The vehicle was placed on a roll back and taken to the dealer. This happened on september 6, 2005. The dealer replaced the ball joint on the rear left back. There was no fore-warning and no noise before this happened. Also the power steering bolts broke on two separate occasions, causing the power steering to drop off the engine block and fall down onto the frame making it almost impossible to steer the vehicle.
