Front Suspension Lower Control Arm problem #1

No accident resulting. Vehicle handling affected as well as braking, car was taken to a repair shop. The front cross-member, right side, where the lower control arm is secured rusted and broke in 2 pieces. Causing loss of control.

Front Suspension problem #2

Suspension failure caused vehicle to go out of control during rain or wind. Yh.

Suspension problem #3

Came to a stop at a stop sign and heart a pop. Tracker would then pull roughly to the left when brakes were applied. Upon inspection it was discovered that the passenger side of the crossmember broke where the inner suspension attaches. Called several dealerships and this is something that is not covered on a recall for this year vehicle. Found several forums that complain of the exact same problem on various years for the chevy Tracker. This is very unfortunate since I am quite fond of my Tracker and rely on it for work and travel with my children, especially in winter months. I am glad this was discovered before it caused a serious accident.
