Purchase car May 13, 2004 had $18,000 miles it was a 2003 Suzuki Aerio. When I purchased the car I noticed a clicking, and clacking noise when you put the car in reverse or make a turn. I was going out of town on June 25, 2004. I took the car to get service on June 23,2004, and to found out what was that clacking, and clicking noise I was hearing. After the mechanic took a look at the car he told me he could hear it to, and that the ball bearing needed work he said he did not have the parts in at the time and would have to order them, and that it would be in tomorrow. I was then told he needed the proper tools to work on it but if I could bring it in that following Monday he would then have everything he needed. I informed him I was going out of town that Friday, and needed by then. He told me he did not see any problem with me driving the car out of town because I had been driving it, and that it would be find. On our way to SC the car went out of control. It start zig zaging from one lane to the next. It then flip over three times on level gound, and landed on the top the whole front axel from wheel on down was missing from the car. My nephew was thrown out the window had to have emergecy surgery. The driver suffer crack vertabra, and I suffered injury to my eye, head, and glass in skin. My son walked away with cuts, and lacerations to skin. I forgot to mention the mechanic did say there was a recall on that particular part of the car. This car is very dangerous vechicle, and would like for someone to investergate this complaint. 770 478-5751
