TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK TERRAZA. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL CLUNKING SOUND EMITTED FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND VERIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V110000 (SUSPENSION). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,100.

THE VEH HAS A NIOSE IN THE REARAFTER START UP, SOMETIMES IT GO AWAY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE BUT IT COME BACK OVER AND OVER AGAIN, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE CONTROLLED ARM RIGHT AND LEFT AND REPLACE THE STEERING SENSOR ALONG WITH THE THERMOSTAT AND THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM THE COST WILL BE 1,500.00. IS THIS A RECALL PROBLEM.

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO ANOTHER STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 12 MPH, THE LEFT REAR BALL JOINT PULLED COMPLETELY UNSEATED. THIS CAUSED THE WHEEL TO NO LONGER SPIN AND PUSHED THE TOP AGAINST THE FRAME CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FOLLOWING: UPPER CONTROL ARM, UPPER PIVOT BUSHING, AND KNUCKLE ON THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. I DID HAVE THE BALL JOINT REPLACED AND CURRENTLY AM IN NEED OF REPLACING THE BUSHING AND KNUCKLE. ALL IN ALL, THESE REPAIRS WILL HAVE COST ME: BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT AND LABOR APPROXIMATELY 267.00, BUSHING AND KNUCKLE 165.00, AND UPPER CONTROL ARM 65.00, PLUS TOOL RENTALS. LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ANY FASTER AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT, BUT STILL IT CAUSED LOSS OF FUNCTION AND STEERING BASED ON THAT. THERE IS A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THIS ISSUE BUT HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED IN THE U.S. I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING A LAWSUIT AGAINST GM FOR THIS AS...
