What owners wrote
Ball joint cracked while making a left turn onto a heavy traffic intersection,at low speed. Vehicle when out of control spinning several times before hitting medium.
When I was driving around 50 MPH I hit a pothole and the vehicle start shaking violently. I had to hold the steering wheel so hard it almost went to the other side of the road. This happened already 5 times, I am so scared to take it on the highway, because I might get into a wreck. I have to come to a complete stop for it to stop shaking.
