Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH HEARD A CLUNK BY THE BACK REAR PASSENGER TIRE, THE TOP OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS TILTED IN. APPEARED TO HAVE A BROKEN LATERAL ARM WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING ANY RATE OF SPEED THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I CONTACTED SATURN WHO TOOK MY CLAIM AND ADMITTED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LATERAL ARM IN 2005. THIS SUPPOSELY WAS TAKEN IN TO A DEALERSHIP AND FIXED. I DIDN'T OWN THIS VEHICLE THEN. SATURN REFUSES TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND SAID IT VERY LIKELY COULDVE BEEN A FAULTLY PART BUT SINCE IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF IN 2005 NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE. I FEEL I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF, LOST CONTROL AND/OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE IF I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL. *TR
