I own the car listed above it is the lt model. I have been experiencing some issues with it for instance; I have noticed that when I am driving I get a really bad vibration coming from the front end of the car and also it makes a loud ticking sound kind of like a helicopter taking off, but I seem to get this vibration when I am climbing or going down hill that It shakes the steering wheel. Can someone please tell me what is causing this because the longer I drive it the more I am afraid that something is going to break and my tire go flying off?

Tires? Engine? Hard to say what could be causing it. Can you take a quick video of what the car is doing so we do not have to guess?

It's not the engine cause there is no check engine light on it feels like it's coming from the passenger side tire area cause u can feel the car vibrating when going down hill or up hill same way as it does when you're breaks are bad but I know it's not them cause I just had them changed its either a ball joint or wheel bearing going bad but I can't tell how u would be able to tell if it's your ball joint wheel bearing going bad
