We were also fortunate to be able to get the vehicle safely off the road. The vehicle was brought to the dealership and the manufacturer was called. They are all pretending they have never heard of something like that happening when a quick search reveals this is a known manufacturing defect with a class action lawsuit …

As I walked through my home, went downstairs and neared the doorway to my garage when I realized the loud noise was coming from my garage. It was not only frightening but …
