What owners wrote
While driving the vehicle on the highway the front frame broke and the cv and front drivers side wheel fell off the vehicle, I had to wrestle the vehicle off the road. The vehicle has had to have both front and back replaced with several other parts the dealer had broke in the process of "fixing" it
81367 miles and the subframe has rotted out. Car has been used for normal use... No off roading. I ahve only owned this car for 6 years.
