This caused the entire engine to drop. The vehicle is no longer drivable. Repair requires extensive structural work. There was no indication of a problem in advance of the incident. The vehicle had been service regularly. The compromised area was not previously visible as it is concealed by a splash guard. …”
NHTSA complaint #10615252, filed 2014-07, 145,000 miles“Vibration felt in front end and pulling to left. Steering wheel shook and was difficult to control over 55 MPH. Serviced several times at dealer. Mechanic could not reproduce the problem. Stated it could be the tires. Had tires aligned and rotated, no change. Bought new tires, still no change.

Foul odor returned when fuel was at 1\2 tank. Hard start upon ignition sounds like metal rubbing against metal. …”
