1 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2002

While driving vehicle kept pulling to the right, and front end was wobbling, caused by the carriage bolt that fell off. Dealer contacted. While the consumer was driving the bike rack dropped down. The check engine light came on and stayed on due to evaporation leak from system and loose gas cap. The driver's side window seal was damaged.

Loud clunking and vibration when driving over bumps when turning at low speeds. It is most pronounced during left turns but also does it when turning right. Dealer rep says he could not hear it. We will schedule another appointment and will make sure dealer rep is not deaf.
