1 Frame And Members problem

Failure Date: 11/09/2009

Sir's I have a 1996 Oldsmobile 88 LS. I was driving to a friends house,started to pull out of an intersection and the 4 rear engine cradle bolts pulled through the subframe, when this happened the engine dropped and the steering shaft came apart and I couldn't turn the wheels to guide the car. Luck had it that no one was coming at the time. I have never in all my years as a driver ever seen this happen. I know it's an older car and things happen ,but never this. If the mounts were defective why weren't they recalled, they were on other models of the Oldsmobiles of this year. Sheriff deputy came and assisted while we could load it onto a flatbed wrecker. Don't know if they made a report or not.
