Oct 2013 five months after I just had my car fixed. As I was driving through the green light I heard a noise like grinding my car stopped I could not go forward or backward, I was stopped in the far right lane of a three lane street I had to put on my flashers. I could not be move only by a tow truck. I had just had tire rods changed in May 2013 and rack N pinion fixed in may which that broke as I was backing out of a parking spot had to be towed. As I was taking the car to the dealership that had fixed it. Tow truck driver noticed tire rod bracket had broke as he was putting car down into parking area. So what I paid to get fix was broke again part could have been defected tire rod bracket. With my family I could have been hurt if I had been on the freeway.
While driving, I experienced violent shaking which didn't correct until I reduced my speed to about 50mph. The issue persisted whenever I drove the highway, no matter the condition of the road over a week's time.
