On my way home from work about 1 am,coming around some curves, that i had come around a hundred times before, went to curve left and the car steered right, went into ditch, hit a driveway culvert and tore the tire off the rim and destroyed the rim. didnt realize anything major was wrong till i got the tire changed and went to go home, the car was pulling to the right really hard, got it up to the shop and they said the subframe was bent in a few places. they said ir would cost about $1600.00 to $2000.00 to fix it, well i don't have that kinda money to be able to do that. so now its been sitting. nothing can be done at this time to fix it at this time..i think there is something wrong with the steering in the car. *nm | |||

While driving through puddles the single drive belt consistently slips losing powersteering, ac and alternator function. the belt does come back on line, but the loss of power steering has resulted in the safety problem of several near crashes. if my wife had been driving she would not have been able to control the vehicle. the vehicle can not be driven with assurance and safety during rain storms.*ak | |||
