CAR STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE WHEN I TURNED TO THE RIGHT SHORTLY AFTER HAVING A SPRING REPLACED IN DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE. WITHIN A WEEK THE RATTLING PROGRESSED TO A GRINDING. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT, KNOWING I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON A LONG TRIP. I LEFT FOR MY TRIP (9 HOUR DRIVE) AFTER ABOUT 5 HOURS, THIS GRINDING NOISE WAS CONSTANT, THEN ABS LIGHT CAME ON, STARTED MESSING WITH MY STEERING, THEN, WHILE TRYING TO GET TO A DEALERSHIP IN THE CLOSEST CITY ( STILL AN HOUR AWAY FROM MY DESTINATION) TIRE BROKE OFF AT THE BEARINGS WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR 4 LANE HIGHWAY. THANK GOODNESS THE OTHER CARS WERE ABLE TO MISS ME, AVOIDING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ALTHOUGH I WAS TOLD YOU DON'T HAVE A LAWSUIT UNLESS THERE'S AN INJURY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS GOOD OR NOT!!!!! *NM THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. UPDATED *JB
