Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The car was originally purchased in my wife's name (judy lynn melin now judy lynn waldrep). the mileage listed is approximate (car is sitting at dealer). while my wife was driving the car through a busy intersection, the rear cradle mount dropped and she lost control of the car. other cars were swerving all around her to avoid her. through some miracle, she did not strike another car or any object; the car rolled to safety, but my wife was very shaken. we found out that for this very type of car, in other states, gm/oldsmobile did a recall (97016) in several states, but not ours (minnesota). we have heard local media reports about this problem occurring in mn, and the state attorney general's office is involved. we have called oldsmobile and spoken with the dealer. neither, at this point, are willing to help us. we just want to recoup our losses. we believe the manufacturer should pay for all repairs and all our out of pocket expenditures; they are fortunate there were no personal injuries or they would have a large lawsuit on their hands! please help! *ak
