| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I turned the corner at an intersection and began accelerating. it felt like the vehicle had a flat tire so i pulled into a parking lot. just as i stopped, the wheel fell under the vehicle. the ball joints broke on the front right wheel causing the whell to fall off the vehicle. there were no injuries due to how slow i was driving at the time. there was almost no warning before the wheel fell off. the dealer replaced the ball joints, bent control arm, broken tie rod, bent brake hose, axle, and sway bar links. there are a number of recalls for other chevy vehicles related to manufacturing issues with ball joints. *ak |
