Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING OVER SOME RAILROAD TRACKS BOTH OF MY FRONT TORSION BARS FAILED AND BROKE. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. FROM MY ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS SAME FAILURE HAS HAPPEND TO THOUSANDS OF OWNERS AND NO RECALL WAS DONE. GM EVEN REDESIGNED THE TORSION BARS BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN DESIGN FLAWS AND IT WILL COST WELL OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR. *TR
