My mother and I was driving on the expressway and it seemed as if the car just lunged forward sharply and made us swerve a little. I pulled over and seen that the car was sitting "off" a little. We towed it home and my step dad looked at it and said the car had rusted through the subframe. The subspension subframe crossmember part could of killed us. She bought this car at 29 miles from dave white cheverolt in 2001. Nothing was sent to us from the manufacture or the dealership about this part being a dangerous part. It was to be replaced I heard if the car reached 150,000 miles or 10 plus years. She had this car for both and was not notified. The dealership will not replace the part. We had it towed this weekend and the dealership will not replace the part for free.
