Grinding from turning. Numerous Radiators, Transmission problems over and over. Jerking not pulling. Stalling in the road.Control Arm needed again. Brakes and Rotors grinding.
Back driver passenger door is stuck. Will not open at all, locks don't unlock most of the time and don't lock at all. Always have to lock manually. New starter replaced but still seems to not want to start. Knocking noise in dash. Front passenger heated seat doesn't work, when the heat button is pushed the light blinks and turns back off. Vents don't work well. And vehicle is stationary, in motion... Also when vehicle speeds up the music gets louder ..
On my front lower control arms the bracket that attaches to the frame and the control arm itself has snapped completely off on my front passenger side and you can tell that the weld that was previously holding it onto the frame itself was a weak point in the whole cross member front k frame and I found it very dangerous I have no clue on how to fix this and was wondering if you guys had a recall on it and are willing to fix it this is a big problem and very dangerous I know that I cannot have it rewelded on I do not know what to do and almost killed me as I was driving.
I was driving and a cop was behind me and he turned on his lights when I noticed his I tried to move into the right lane, and when I started to change lanes my driver wheel locked and it sounded as if I hit my brakes and the cop hit me my car spin out of control and I hit a tree.
We where coming home and heard a loud snap on my right side by the wheel and as we reduce speed the car starts to shake violently and the traction sensors went off the car reduced speed dangerously on the frw with traffic behind us and hard to steer... And moments after the car shut off.

The dealer was not called and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 125,000.
I read my car has a recall about the front tires suspension and lately, I been hearing a clicking noise on my front tires when I'm driving or turn the corners of side streets.
I hear a horrible grind when making a left hand turn after a stop, car also felt like it did not want to go forward causing hesitation in left hand turn - very dangerous with oncoming traffic. Have had it to mechanic many times, either they couldnt find the problem or would fix this or that and then problems right back within days if not hours. Occasionally get service stabilitrac and/or ABS lights, usually lights would clear by next day when I took to mechanic and again they'd either find no problem or try a fix -still a problem. I believe they're going to try to replace wheel bearing next but from all forums I've read this doesn't seem to help people either, problem comes right back, recently rack and pinion had to be replaced costing $700 to fix, within 2 days I heard the grind, had hesitation on a left hand turn, noticed fluid under my vehicle upon return home, hoped it was A/C condensation, within days the power steering is going out again - turns out new rack and pinion is leaking and car is completely out if power steering fluid again after 2 weeks. I can't help but wonder if the sound and grind isn't what's causing my rack and pinion issues as well? Have owned 2 years now with this problem continuously throughout ownership of the vehicle. Approx. 68k miles on it when purchased now almost 90k have to be very cautious making left hand turns that there is no oncoming traffic as hesitation may cause you to get hit if vehicle can't turn in time. Have to completely let off gas and try again sometimes still grinds if so repeat is all you can do. Becoming very scary and costly with no fix found so far!!! Please investigate! Multiple posts regarding same issue some on newer models, very much a safety issue I can't even teach my child to drive in the car as I am afraid for their safety in it, as well as my own safety ever time I try to make a left hand turn.
In the right rear section of car there is a rattle all the time.
