Consumer Description

BOUGHT 2000 CHEVY CAVALIER FROM BAY POINT TOWING IN CONCORD ON 4/8/06 AFTER ONE WEEK OF DRIVING VEHICLE THE FRONT STARTED TO MAKE A CLUNKING NOISE AND THE FRONT WHEEL JUST LOCKED UP MAKE IT HARD TO STEER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND BOTH DECLINED WORKING ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO TOO MANY PARTS MISSING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. ONE MECHANIC STATED THAT I WAS VERY LUCKY I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. *JB
