1 Front Suspension Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 07/30/2020

On July 29, 2020 I purchased a vehicle from crown Nissan of greenville. They stated that the vehicle had a safety inspection and that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and all that needed was a new ac compressor that they would replace at their expense. They were not transparent about other problems that surfaced within the first quarter tank of gas of owning the vehicle. The brakes were not installed correctly and was causing errors which is a safety concern. Both low control arms and struts were completely worn and not safe for vehicle operation. The front windshield had a crack in it. There were also faulty engine misfiring. There inspection did not animate any of these issues and said the only thing wrong was the ac compressor, which was a lie. The left strut was also was not operational and has made the car unsafe to drive. The vehicle has been driven less than 100 miles and has caused nothing but problems and a safety concern for the driver. I used the dealers service department twice and they were not transparent about issues concerning the vehicle. They did not care and both times said everything was fine which was not true there was a lot wrong with the vehicle that they weren't disclosing. I asked the dealership exactly what was wrong because I needed to know and they assured me the safety inspection was done and there was nothing wrong. The Honda mechanic from fishers garage claims the car has signs of being in a rough accident with underneath repairs, however the dealer assured there was no accidents and the car fax was clear of any defects. Which also turns out to be a lie.

4 Front Suspension Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 02/21/2012

Took my 2009 Honda Pilot in to the Honda dealer for maintenance schedule and front brake pad replacement and was told that 1. Front lower control arm bushing & brackets $750. 00 + tax the bushings inside the bracket are cracking. Just purchased the car from ourisman Honda in laurel, MD in November 2011. Did not replace due to not being able to afford the cost. Considering replacement in 2/2015 due to the violent shaking that I experience when braking or driving over 60mph. I should not have had to incur this expense especially since Honda was aware of this malfunction.
