Making a loud noise when you turn the wheel either way it pops and cracks. I had other recalls done on it and now this is making noise what else are these cars just made to be junk or is this just a way to get you to spend money in a shop all the time. I am not a doctor I am not made of money to keep fixing repairs on this car. Can't you make a good dependable car without problems. I would like to get this fix. Is this covered on some kind of recall or what?

Get my front end aligned 2 times a year. This time the ball Joint on the Lower A-Arm was really loose. I was quoted $2100 a side. The Part was $350 a side. That was a fun repair.

With less than 50k miles (purchased used), needs new ball joints. Poor workmanship and design. You get what you pay for.
