What owners wrote

My wife and I just exited the highway where we were traveling 70 MPH (rt 75 south tennessee). We came to a stop light that was red and applied the brakes. We heard a load sound from the right front wheel and the wheel pulled from my hands. I exited the car to find the lower a frame had broken off the sub frame. If this happened on the highway or on the exit ramp, we would have lost control and crashed.
