“On january 2, 2018 our local overnight temperature was a negative (-)20 degrees f. That morning while still in my driveway, both front coil springs broke and the right front coil spring penetrated the inner sidewall of the 18 tire and this resulted in the tire becoming two distinct pieces. If this had happened while driving on the road, it could have resulted in a serious and possible deadly accident. …”

They are saying it will take more than a month to get it fixed yet refuse to give a car. We have been waiting patiently for our letter that the parts are available and this let to the steering going out while we were driving. - this is not reasonable!”

NHTSA complaint #11265298, filed 2019-10, 123,000 miles“Left front of vehicle is vibrating/ jerking steering wheel side to side with what sounds like something rubbing hard enough to jerk car side to side. Making a banging noise when turning as though front suspension is broken. I see there is a recall for this issue. I purchased the Outlander from a dealership used and was told fixing the recalls wasn't their problem after signing paperwork. Unknown history as I was lied to about issues and salesman was fired. I believe this is a recall issue.”
