Metal on metal rattling sounds coming from the front end of the car. The noise is loud. Sounds unsafe like something is going to fall off or freeze up. Took the car to my repair guy and they could not find anything wrong. We the(repair) guy and I took it for a test drive. They said it's sounds bad but, didn't find anything wrong. He said they could start replacing parts but will not guarantee until the actual part (s) are found if any.
The front end sounds like it is going to fall out along with feeling a metal clanking sound at 18000 miles. I took this to black Chevrolet in nashville which was not the sale dealership but one I had bought a truck with and was using their service they stated that a recall might be coming soon on the problem and it would not present a safety concern. The car was my fathers which died in 2006 and my mother was put in assisted living in 2008 so I just found out the problem please help.
