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.
