Your car's driver-side CV joint vibrates, and you may notice loose steering feel at certain speeds. Additionally, your handbrake sometimes doesn't hold properly, and your right brake light remains out even after you've replaced the bulb. These issues will likely require inspection of the CV joint, steering components, brake system, and brake light wiring.

THE HANKOOK H426 TIRES ON THIS CAR ARE EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY MINOR ROAD HAZARDS SUCH AS STONES AND SHALLOW POTHOLES OR RIDGING IN THE ROADWAY, EVEN WHEN STRUCK AT SPEEDS BELOW 30 MPH. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MARCH OF 2014 AND HAVE SINCE REPLACED 6 TIRES AT FULL COST. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 1/22/2016 WHILE DRIVING ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD AT LOW SPEED. IN EVERY CASE, THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE APPEARED TO BE GASHED. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS CAR AND USES IT FOR WORK PURPOSES. I FEAR FOR HER SAFETY WHENEVER SHE DRIVES THIS CAR.
NOTICED A ODD NOISE COMING FROM MY LEFT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN. TOOK IT TOO A MECHANIC. LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. HAD TO REPLACE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING AT 41,000 MILES. THIS CAR HAS NOT DRIVEN ON BUMPY ROADS OR ANY ACCIDENTS.
