NHTSA Complaint #10065579 — 1995 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE RECEIVED A RECALL BACK IN 1999, IT DEALT WITH HAVING THE BALL JOINTS AND KNUCKLES REPLACED. HE STATED THAT AT THAT TIME, HIS DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH HIS VEHICLE AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK. NOW 20,000 MILES LATER, HE FINDS THAT THE NUT HAS CHEWED THE COTTER KEY OFF AND IN HALF. HE STATED WHEN HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND SHOWED IT TO THEM, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE TO REPAIR IT. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, BECAUSE HE IS TRAVELING UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND HIS WHEEL WAS ABOUT TO COME OFF. HE STATED THAT THE DEALERS NAME IS VAN TROW OLDS AND CADILLAC DEALER, IT IS LOCATED AT 2015 LOUISVILLE AVENUE MONROE, LA 318 387 2021. HE STATES ALL HE WANTS IS HIS VEHICLE REPAIRED, WHERE THEY DID NOT REPAIR IT BEFORE. *NM THE CONSUMER HAD THE FAULTY NUT IN THE BALL JOINTS REPAIRED BY A DIFFERENT DEALER PRIOR TO MEETING WITH THE VAN-TROW DEALERSHIP. *LA *JB
