 Control arm cracked and split while pulling out of a gas station. this vehicle does not have an upper and lower control arm, only lower (made of aluminum for weight reduction). if this happend on the highway, i would likely have veered off the road and be seriously injured, or even worse, dead. this should never have happened.
