NHTSA Complaint #10748513 — 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2013 IT LOOK NICE AND WAS IMPRESS, BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. ABOUT 4 MONTHS INTO DRIVING I HEARD A THUMPING IN THE BACK. EVERY TIME I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. NOTICE IT WAS GETTING LOUDER. HAD IT LOOK AT AND THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING LOOK OKAY. COMING HOME FROM WORK THAT NEXT EVENING. I COULD NOT STEER MY CAR AND ALMOST HIT A TELEPHONE POLE. WAS SO THANKFUL, I COULD STOP BEFORE THAT HAPPPEN. TOOK IT IN TO A MECHANIC AND THE UNDECARRIAGE WAS ALMOST FALLING OUT. IT COST ME ALMOST $800.00 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME AFTER I JUST HAD IT LOOK AT, AT ANOTHER PLACE. I WAS VERY LUCKY BUT I STILL AM HAVING PROBLEMS. SMELLS OF GAS AND I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A SAFE AND PAID OFF CAR. THAT HAS ONLY GIVEN ME PROBLEMS!
