While driving the front end suspension slips, bounces up and down very harshly, tires slip, squeak, and slide in an hard to control way, sometimes into oncoming traffic when in slightly damp conditions an on roads with any amount of bumps, to the point that I need to drive extremely slow to avoid danger which in turn puts my and my passengers and my kids in danger by goin to slow in regards to the traffic around us. When hitting relatively small bumps the suspension bounces the car severely up and down and across the road into harms way.

While driving on the freeway going the speed limit I changed lanes and the rear of the car fished tailed. It happened so fast it scared me to death. I was very lucky to get the car under control. It was not raining and some what heavy traffic at the time. The car does not maneuver well. I have to be careful while changing lanes and do it slowly or the car jerks quickly and not smooth as my other cars I've owned.

As I was driving down 9E at approximately 3:20pm, I hit a pothole and popped my tire. I pulled over to the side of the road and after contacting my roadside assistance, I realized that there was 3 other vehicles that had been hit by the pothole as well. The police was notified and provided each driver with an accident report.

Front driver side wheel studs snap. Mechanics note- faulty parts he could not find any signs of over tightening from the tire company which replaced all four tires over 1 year ago.
