What owners wrote
2 occasions where ball joint snapped and vehicle was moving and fell to ground .while my child was inside . Major electrical issues such as: odometer flashes constantly and gas gage wacked out ever since vehicle fell to ground every thing was working properly before and on the first incident is when it started and continues to get worse. Suspension and steering : also since car fell to ground has cause steering and suspension to be almost impossible .
While backing out of the driveway at 2 MPH, the front driver's side tie rod snapped. The left front tie rod fell to the ground. The tie had rusted and pitted. Both tie rods were replaced and the upper joint was found bad.
