The dealership has refused to provide documentation for the pre-purchase inspection and the post-inspection report, and they declared the vehicle a total loss. My husband was driving and made a left turn, and the front right tire and control arm came completely off the car. As a result, significant damage was sustained to the car's underside, and it was not immediately visible when the dealership/auto body repair shop received the car. They delayed explaining to my insurance company that the vehicle was totaled and claimed there was a delay due to a technician being terminated.

I also have a drive shaft bearing that is completely destroyed. I have seen similar complaints on nhtsa. I took my car into a local shop for both front CV boots ripped and leaking. Upon inspection I was told the drive shaft also needed replaced, totaling over 3000+ to replace the drive shaft. The mechanic took a video of the bearing and it is indeed completely separated with the drive shaft moving very loose. With how may people are complaining about this part, and the recalls on drive shafts for certain vehicles, (unfortunately not this VIN) that it should be investigated.

Car seat has a curved back instead of a flat back design which causes a chin to chest position of the head leading to closed airways of the infant. Car seat has not been inspected. Infant cries and stuggles to breathe while in car seat turning red and trying to gasp for air as he seems to slowly choke. His chin touches his chest and airways seemed closed. This is very dangerous. This product has been discontinued and should be recalled. I wrote a date below because you have asked for one but this has been a constant occurrence.
