Wheels sounded like they were going to fall off whenever consumer hit a bump. Engine check light was coming on, and consumer was constantly putting oil in vehicle. Took vehicle to dealer, and they said vehicle was burning oil and making a knocking noise. Left and right tie rods needed to be replaced.

Noise in the front was reported to dealer on April 27, 2000. Car was put up on rack, but no defect was found by mechanic at that time. While turning onto main road from side road, tie rod broke. Repairing mechanic ( not dealer) noted excessive wear of tie rods, for mileage on vehicle, and replaced both sides. Had I been up to speed I could have been involved in a serious accident. Dealer of vehicle supposedly did a safety check before we took delivery.
