 Rear suspension that holds struts is rotted. smokes when car is driven at any speed. if used long term, the frame may crack and the tires may come completely off. many mechanics have told me that this is a problem with these cars.

 While driving at 30 mph, rear cradle bolts broke, causing the rear of the engine to fall out. also, consumer lost control of steering due to steering shaft breaking. dealer is aware of the problem. *ak
