WHILE TRAVELING AT AT 55 MPH CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, VEHICLE FLIPPED 7 TIMES BEFORE LANDING IN A DITCH. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *AK - Jun 25, 2002 · crashAir bags › Frontal
FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICAL WAS TURNED AROUND TO PULL INTO A PARKING AREA. THE FRONT BUMPER HIT A TREE STUMP WHERE THE LICENSE PLATE MOUNTS. THE VEHICAL WAS MOVING LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE. THE BUMPER WAS CRACKED AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE BUMPER BRACKETS ARE MOUNTED TO THE RADIATOR WHICH ALSO BROKE. SO THIS POOR DESIGN OF HAVING THE BUMPER MOUNTED TO THE RADIATOR CAUSED APROXIMATLY $1800.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE. - Jan 1, 2001Suspension › Front › Control arm › Lower arm
LOWER CONTROL ARM WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, AND CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK IN LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL. *YH
