3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2012

I came out to my vehicle one morning to find the rear of my 2005 Buick rainer resting on the tires, I started the vehicle and took it to my auto repairman. By the time I left my driveway, the rear had lifted back up. It happened intermittently for a few months, never lasting longer than the time to exit the street that I live on. Since hitting 150,000 miles, the rear has started dropping more frequently and even while driving. Recently, on a trip from tampa to daytona, with my two young children, the rear dropped and we bounced the entire way. It has progressively been getting worse and when I did an internet search regarding this issue I have found that all Buick rainer owners experience this exact event. It is terrifying and extremely dangerous. This needs to be recalled, as many parents utilize these vehicles and children are put at risk when there is a lacking in control of the rainer.
