What owners wrote

While driving the vehicle suddenly veered to the right which was followed by a loud noise. The dealer has been notified. *nlm

April 2003

Single owner/user;retired, garage kept. Undercarriage so eroded wheels began to list. Impractical to repair. Body and engine without problems. Not notified by dealership at recent service there was a problem. An unknown person that drove behind me mentioned that I should get rear wheel looked at. When brought for alignment check, I was notified by the mechanic to look at the underside of the car. Erosion was so bad, I drove the 5 miles to my home and will not take it on the road again. No recalls received.

Reported at 82,000 miles, December 2014
