| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The van was going down the i25 north of denver when the left front torsion bar snapped. i have driven many race cars and brining the van to a stop was the hardest i have ever done. by driving skills, luck and the good lord i am here today to write this complaint. does general motors need to wait for a family to die before they will step up to the plate. i did not know of this problem until i went to get parts and that is when i find that gm knows they have defective torsion bars and supersedes the part numbers to shorter (from 40" to 36" bars) these bars are redesigned and must be replaced in pairs. i have the van torn down now with the failed part and it upsets me enough that i am going to let the van sit until general motors does something about this. note that the gmc safari awd vans and the chevrolet astro awd vans are the same vehicle with the same problem.*ak |
