What owners wrote
Dt: the contact has been experiencing problems with the steering and front end while driving vehicle. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership three times since may 2005. While driving on a two lane road the vehicle started making a noise, then it veered to the left. This resulted in an accident. Upon impact, the air bags did deploy.
The upper ball joints wore out prematurely (pe 03-032, front suspension/upper ball joints). The front end popped while making turns.
