Both left and right sway bar links popped out of their sockets causing reduced control of side to side stabelization. This could be a very serious stability problem if the driver does not know their broken and has to make a quick turn. This part is not safe and should be recalled. Thanks.

Noticed oil leaking. Had the vehicle serviced at the dealer who put a new seal on. After a second seal was put on, took it to the dealer to have the torque turning checked on the rear pinion gear. Was told that the bearings were all bad and needed to be replaced. Also, they had to rebuilt the rear end.
