The front bumper plastic fasteners that hold the bumper to the chassis degrade and break over time and the front bumper will fall off without notice. This happened to me as my car was slowly moving forward in a parking lot and I had to get out and pick up the bumper and put it in my back seat to get it home. When I got home upon inspection I noticed the plastic fasteners had broken and I was not able to put the bumper back on. I had to use wire to attach it to the chassis because the plastic fasteners were all broken and brittle.

While driving with two kids in the car my stearing became odd. I slowed down and my car started pulling to the left I could barely keep it in a straight line. My stearing wheel was turned all the way to the right when suddenly it sounded like I had a flat tire. I stopped the car the wheel it's self looked odd. I got back in and tried to drive and my car made a aweful noise and I could not go anywhere! I was sranded in the dark on a hillside with the kids. I had my car towed home to discover the frame of my car has split at the A-arm, the engine cradle has caused this problem. My insurance wont pay this is our only car and my kids have medical needs please help !
