Clunking Noise problem #1

There is a clicking noise at the rear wheels during low speed forward and reverse travel. The dealer has twice (July 2008 and March 2009) tightened the rear axle nuts to temporarily solve the problem. I'm sure about the consequences of this complaint, but if the axle nuts were to fall off there probably would be damage to the vehicle and/or other vehicles because of a car accident.

Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem #2

The stabilizer bar and support arm broke, vehicle skidded into a muddy ditch into an embankment.

Suspension problem #3

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the active handling warning lamp illuminated and the vehicle started to swerve. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 25,000 and the current mileage was 42,000.
