| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We purchased from an old gentleman of our aquaintence this car that showed 56000 miles. the car was wobbly and un-steady. we took it to our mechanic who suggested we put new shocks which did not help. we had felt a strange floating sensation the day before while driving on the interstate. the afternoon of the incident we heard a noise in the rear and the car started shaking very bad. the driver applied brakes which caused the car to spin around and head to the ditch. he got it back on the road, applied brakes again, again lost control, finally got it stopped. witness heard a metalic sound before, went back later and picked up a 2 1/2 inch bolt which was missing from the connection between the stablizer bar and rear axle. i feel this is an extreme danger. we feel there was a defect in the rear suspension all along. we replaced the bolt but the car is still wobbly and shakey in the rear. thanks for any information you can supply. dt |
