MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 35 MILES AND HOUR AND THE ENGINE DROPPED OUT OF THE CAR. UPON INSPECTION OF THE CAR AFTERWARDS, IT APPEARS THAT THE RUBBER BUSHINGS ON FOUR BOLTS FOR THE ENGINE MOUNTS HAD DISINTEGRATED / DRY ROTTED AND THE BOLTS THAT WERE HOLDING THE ENGINE INTO CAR WERE SEVERLY RUSTED WHICH RESULTED IN LETTING THE ENGINE DROP OUT OF THE CAR. THE CAR HAD JUST PASSED INSPECTION. THERE WAS NO RUST ON THE BODY OF THE CAR AND ONLY SLIGHT SURFACE RUST ON VERY LITTLE OF THE CARS UNDERCARRAGE. MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR THE DAY BEFORE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU COULD NOT SEE THIS DRY ROT ON THE ENGINE MOUNTS WHEN THE ENGINE WAS MOUNTED

MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON,AND WHEN I HAVE TO STOP SUDDENLY MY CAR SLIDE SIDEWAYS, CAUSING MY BACK END TO GO INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY CAR INTO GRAY CHEVY-CADILLIAC OF THE POCONOS.AND DID THE SCANN AND SAID IT WAS THE PUMP MOTOR. I HAD IT CHANGED AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON, AND KNOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE ABS MODULE HAS TO BE CHANGED.

WHILE CHECKING COOLANT HOOD SUDDLENLY WITHOUT WARNING FELL AND LATCHED WITH MY HAND TRAPPED UNDER IT, RESULTING IN SEVERE NERVE AND SOFT TISSUE DAMAGE TO MY LEFT HAND. PHYSICAL THERAPY FAILED TO RESTORE FEELING AND RELIEVE PAIN, RESULTING IN SURGERY TO FREE UP THE DAMAGED NERVES SO THEY COULD HEAL. AFTER 6 MONTHS THE FEELING IS STILL NOT 100% RESTORED IN MY LEFT HAND, WHICH IS NOW VERY SENSITIVE TO COLD.

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A GAS TANK PROBLEM. WHEN THE GAS TANK WENT DOWN TO 5 OR 6 GALLONS WHILE TURNING A CORNER GAS WOULD NOT CONTINUE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. ALTHOUGH THIS DEFECT OCCURRED WHEN ON THE STRAIGHT AWAY IT WAS MORE OBVIOUS WHEN TURNING THE CORNER. CONSUMER MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS QUESTIONING THE CONSUMER ABOUT THE INFORMATION HE RECEIVED CONCERNING THE GAS TANK REPLACEMENT. *AK
