“When making a sharp left turn the wheel rubs against the torsion bar. The dealer / manufacturer is aware of the problem. The problem has not been corrected.”
NHTSA complaint #834407, filed 1999-02“Extreme front end shudder at 50+MPH braking, occasionally bellow 50mph. First near crash was avoided by downshift and parking brake application. Front end wobble and squeel and felt like brake fade but was only coming to stop from 35mph in residential/retail zone. Stopped half way into intersection and was almost broadsided by a motorcyclyst. Replaced with new pair of rotors and brake pads as original rotors were extremly warped and had minor crack on right front. Pads were worn to metal in places. I have put on yet another set of rotors with same extreme warpage and more cracks than last set. …”
