1 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/23/2019

While driving down I-75 in michigan doing ~75mph, I feel a sharp tug then a sway. We took the vehicle home and inspected it. The welds on the body to the attaching point of the rear axle had broken and the rear end of the vehicle was tracking sideways. Thank god nothing bad happened, we had all six of our kids with us when it went out at 75mph.

2 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2018

2005 chevy Uplander lt. Undercarriage rusted on back passenger side within 9 months after purchase, causing separation of the rear passenger wheel from the body of vehicle. When driving, you can hear/feel clunking/squeaking noise which sounds like the tire is going to come completely off the car. Area affected cannot be replaced nor welded as this can be unsafe to drive. I have images that can be sent via email.

3 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2017

Tamara recall as I was driving with my whole family in our van, the left trailing are broke off. Therefore, my axle started to fall off. I could not stop us. My breaks didn't work, since it snapped my break line too. I was only going 25mph. Once we came to a stop, we got out, and my left back tire was under my bumper.
