What owners wrote
While I was driving on the street, the axle/spindle to the right front wheel/tire of my vehicle broke. Therefore I lost control of the vehicle and I hit two packed vehicles.
The car has begun making a loud noise, when in gear, this is a manual transmission car, but whenever I am in drive it makes this loud grinding noise. If I am in neutral no noise at all. And sometimes even in drive is intermittent.
