Consumer Description

THE FRONT STEERING MECHANISM ON MY BLAZER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, AND EACH TIME IF I HAD NOT BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON IT IT COULS HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. IN ANY EVENT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE EITHER TIME. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND AMNY PEOPLE WHO ARE TOTALLY UNWARE THAT TIS COULD BE A PROBLEM . I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL OTHERS SETTING IN CAR LOTS FOR SALE AND THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE FRONT ENDS OF ALL OF THEM SO THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST MY PROBLEM. *AK
