While driving on the highway, I was having difficulty steering. The car was pulling to the left and I had to pull over because it was too difficult to manage. Upon inspection, the right front tire was toed-in and the upper tire stabilizer arm broke away from the frame at the bracket. The bracket attaching the arm to the frame had snapped. The frame itself just below that bracket was cracked with severe rot on both sides. The rest of the truck is in perfect condition except for the frame. I was told that this cannot be fixed.

1. Seems like ABS system comes on when braking and car almost completely stopped. 2. Thud comes up through brake pedal and brakes release car to roll an additional several feet before coming to complete stop. 3. Dealer replaced left front wheel hub and sensor.

The left rear wheel seal moved out of the axle housing, and caused fluid to get on brakes. This has affected the braking ability, at panic stop vehicle pulls hard to the right. The seal was replaced for the first time at 4700 miles, and has been replaced 4 more times since. *ak the dealer denied that the axle housing was defective. Scc
