Consumer Description

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF PARKING WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I WAS PAUSING TO CHECK MY REAR VIEW MIRROR BEFORE PROCEEDING TO REVERSE INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY COLLAPSED ON THE FRONT RIGHT HAND SIDE. MY SPINDLE A FACTORY PIECE WAS FAULTY IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED ME AND MY BABY SISTER WOULD HAVE WRECKED AND BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE CHEVY COBALT ALREADY HAS NUMEROUS RECALLS AND MANUFACTURERS TOOK MANY SHORT CUTS! THAT CHEAP METAL COULD'VE COSTED A LIFE!
