| Suspension problems |
My trucks leaf springs need to be replaced. I am not a mechanic so I do not know if my safety is at risk, but I do not like the way it sounds when driving. My dealership has confirmed the issue and carshield said they are unable to pay for the repairs because it is a "bulletin". It should be a recall since they have had multiple complaints. I was not notified of the issue on my chevy ap or the truck. I had to take it in for an oil change, so I had the guys look at the area the noise was coming from.
I was pulling out onto the road and heard a noise in the front and right after my upper ball joint snapped completely off folding the tire underneath the truck and smashing the whole front end. Very lucky I was not on the highway. Had truck towed into my shop where after examination part failed prematurely. My insurance paid for it all which was just short of $10,000 in damage minus my $500 deductible and the tow bill. Now I have lost my safe driving deduction because of this claim, which caused my insurance to skyrocket. There were no prior warning signs, and I have my vehicle serviced and inspected regularly at my service provider.
Ball joint broke on front passenger side 2 times at 62 mph. 1st incident occurred [xxx] at 71,699 miles. 2nd incident occurred [xxx] at 135,543 miles. Second incident caused $6,500 body damage & $2500 in towing fees. I told gm the truck was unsafe to drive, which they failed to help. Any other vehicle in my path would have caused a major accident involving injury or death. The ally warranty covers 150k miles. Dealer only covered mechanical repairs, not the body damage or any towing. All work has been serviced & inspected by the dealer: upstate Chevrolet in attica, NY 14011. No warnings or lights appeared. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
