What owners wrote
While driving 65 MPH the front passenger side of vehicle dropped, causing driver to loose control of vehicle. Vehicle bounced across 3 lanes of traffic, child hit his head on side of vehicle. Dealer determined the tie rod broke on passenger side.
The oil cooler lines leaked oil onto the engine which caused it to smoke. The oil cooler lines have been replaced three times within the last 30,000 miles. There was noise in the front end due to a worn right front outer tie rod and when damp or cold out, a hard shift would be present when making turns. *scc
