A few days after normandin chrysler did a recall clutch repair, the passenger side control arm came loose at the wheel causing vehicle to be uncontrollable and right tire to jam into wheel well. i had just turned left onto a road from a driveway. i heard a grinding sound and pulled the car over. cv fluids on road. axel disconnected at both ends.
I was driving my vehicle down a main street when i felt a clunk and lost control of my vehicle. no accident or injury to person. i called for a tow truck as my car was not drivable. the tow truck driver said it looked like my axel broke off. now fiat does not want to fix the car claiming that it can't be proven to be manufactured default. my car has 16500 miles and is still under factory warranty.
Brakes did not engage the first time in order to stop the car for parking space. it happened again the following day where i tried to hold the brake pedal to the floor and nothing!!! i retried again a second time and too late car was hit twice in the front destroying whole front end. car was purchased brand new. i have contacted fiat hq to further investigate this deadly safety issue.
