“I was driving with my 3 young children in my 2006 Kia Sedona when another driver pulled out in front of me causing me to apply the brakes, at which time I lost control of the van which nearly rolled over. I later learned that when the brakes were applied, the driver's side lower control arm completely broke due to rust which is what caused me to lose control. Thankfully, the van came to a stop but only because the wheel broke and became lodged. Had this accident happened on the freeway, there would have been serious injuries or fatalities. …”
NHTSA complaint #10723259, filed 2015-06, 85,000 miles“My vehicle shakes badly...Kia, where I purchase my 2006 told me, it is the sub frame which causes my van to shake.

Vehicle quickly became unstearable. Left lower control arm was found to be totally rust weakened with large rust holes and cracks.....and after part was removed by a mechanic, I could easily bend the whole control arm in half with very little effort.
