HHR 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,000 miles
: the contact stated while driving 35 mph on a city street, there was a clunking noise coming from the front followed by the vehicle pulling to the right side. The contact managed to pull the vehicle to the side of the street without incident. Upon initial inspection, the right front tire was lying underneath the vehicle. After being towed to the dealer, it was determined the steering knuckle fractured into, and caused the right front tire to roll underneath the vehicle while attached to the remaining half of the steering knuckle. The manufacturer was alerted.
