| I have had numerous problems with this new vehicle. the most serious of which happened this week. i had problems with the ball joints. after several trips, i finally got the dealership to replace the right one. they said the left one was find, although that was where the noise was from. they told me it was my power steering rack. five days after the right ball joint was replaced, the left ball joint broke as my 17 year old daughter was driving the car and the tire fell off. luckily she had gotten off the 4-lane highway she had been traveling on that night. | |||
