NHTSA complaint #10979716, filed 2017-04, 166,000 miles“While driving on an interstate highway, a large amount of smoke was observed in the rear view mirror. After finding a safe place to quickly pull over, it was found that the right rear strut had failed completely and was resting on a brand new tire. The tire was smoking and destroyed. It had only millimeters of tread left before the strut would have punctured and exploded the tire. Later at a garage, the strut was shown to have broken completely. Although I survived this near disastrous incident, it could have easily been much worse for me and other interstate users nearby.”

I took it to the dealer where I got it from to find out that the EGR valve needed to be changed, did this. Then I drove it for 1 week and the check engine light came on again, took it back to the dealer to find out that there is a problem with the crank shaft and that it will be very costly to have it repaired. All of this happened when I was driving it. The car began to shake and I got very scared. I only had the car for 3 months and in the 3 months all of these problems have erupted. …”

Around a slight bend, speed limit was 40mph, it was a slightly wet from previous rain but traction was fine. All of a sudden something happened with the passenger side front wheel and it felt like something broke, came loose, failed or didn't perform as normal. I didn't hear any noise as if something broke however. The front right pivoted funny then the front end began to wobble, then I started to spin out I started to spin aiming and going toward oncomming traffic, I fought to gain control.
