i think hes talking about the ssv

theres so much debate about the ssv. most people agree that its for just looks (if youre n/a) and wont do anything unless youre f/i

i really have no opinions about it...im just saying what is generally acknowledged by the forum

 

^O i didnt know he was talking about the SSV, NVM.

 

Wait, so what this the front or rear camber kit that broke? Was it the Toe/traction bar in the rear, or a part of the front camber kit? Sorry to here about your accident, get in touch with Kinetix right away!

 

glad you and your son are ok.youll get the car back up and running in no time,good luck with everything.

 

Wow...and I was considering this kit.

Thank God you two are ok and no other parties involved in that incident.

I'd take a lot of pictures of where this broke. Just a faulty weld or was there rust at the weld joint, etc.
The good thing is your Dealer endorsed and installed these, otherwise Kinetix would have ammunition saying they were installed wrong if you had done the installation yourself.
What kind of warranty on these?

Your insurance co should be able to help with their lawyers in this. I'm sure they have an interest in someone paying them back for this damage.

If I had this kit, I would be checking mine for rust and/or hairline cracks at the welds which would be signs of guaranteed future failure down the road.

G/L with everything.

 

If I had this kit, I'd be taking it out right now!

 

Notify Kinetix and request their GL/Product liability carrier's info so they can file the claim or you can file the claim directly. If you get any resistance from them you can hope your auto carrier subrogates against them for the product defect. Your carrier and the their carrier should want to perform a a full investigation and copy of any police reports. Any proof of this product having a history of breakage at the weld points would help support a quick resolution. Contact anyone online that has had the same thing happen. You will need all of their info.

You may not need a lawyer until someone says NO, or denies coverage/responsibility.

 

I'm glad you and your son are all right!

Thanks for posting this to make everyone aware.

 

I was going to say that.

Really, if the product is dangerous it should be taken off the market immediately and owners notified.

 

I bought my G (2004 6MT) with the kinetix already on it. I haven't had an issue yet, but what others would you recommend for replacement? Has anyone else had a major problem with them?
thanks

 

i wouldnt say it out of control. i mean, if a company makes a product, used to correct the camber of ur suspenion, they should be made to handle all the obstacles you face on the streets and the tracks...

i mean, no one buys a camber kit just to correct your camber and just have the car sit there and look pretty.

if u make a product, and it fails, causes and accident or death, then the company should be liable..

 

thanks for the good information

 

wow glad to hear that you and your son are ok let us know what happens

 

I am happy you and your son are all okay. It pisses me off to no extent that a company is aware of an issue with their product, but for the sake of profit they will take no action, they would rather their customers and their family run the risk of being killed rather than performing a recall.

 

has kinetix put out a good product yet?
