What owners wrote

While driving uphill car made a loud noise and the front end was shifting to the right. Also, engine had exploded and vehicle was on fire. Vehicle was totaled.

October 1999 Fire

The control arm (a arm) on the front drivers side has a bushing which came loose and caused an awful sound when slowing down. This was replaced last year at my expense. Now a year later, the same arm has the exact same problem. I'm sure that I am speaking for many when I say that I can not afford to fix the same problem every year.
