What owners wrote
I was on the highway going at the speed of 45MPH when the ball joint on the front passanger tire broke, causing me to go through 3 lanes without warning and almost flipping my car over. This is not the first time where I have almost lost my life due to manufacturer defects. Last year while driving on the highway, the wipers went out on me in the middle of a thunderstorm. The wipers died out on me a total of 6 times in the last 2 years with over 10 visits to dealers for repairs.
NHTSA recall# 03v 159 000 windshield wiper motor cover.vehicle was not included in the recall. However, the consumer stated a recall noticed was received from the manufacturer, and they were denying consumer the opportunity to have this resolved.
