| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Pulling out of my parking space at work on 5/4/07 and heard a loud pop, stopped vehicle and checked but could not find anything wrong. proceeded to drive home (about 1/2 mile) and smoke was coming from right front tire area. pulled up to my home and there was a sound like a gun shot and my right front tire went flat. triple "a" tow truck found that my right front strut spring had broken in a weak spot and obliterated my tire. car was towed to buckeye collision and i am waiting on a estimate of damage/repair cost. i don't know if buckeye collision is a certified repair place for gm but i would like gm to pay for this and make it right. i now worry about the left strut and cannot afford this kind of major repair. please post this message and contact gm and any other reporting agencies. this could lead to a death of an innocent person if driving fast on highway. *tr |
