I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERY TIME I PRESSED THE BRAKES MY TRACKER VEERED TO THE RIGHT INTO THE OTHER LAND AND STARTED TO SHAKE TREMENDOUSLY. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH OUT IT CONSTANTLY SHAKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THE VEHICLE SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER BAR HAD ROTTED OUT AND WAS COMPLETELY FULL OF RUST. AFTER A FULL INSPECTION I WAS TOLD FROM THE MECHANIC THAT MY CAR IS MECHANICALLY SOUND AND THERE IS NO OTHER RUST ANYWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME ABOUT A RECALL WITH THIS PART. MY 2002 CHEVY TRACKER HAS JUST OVER 85000 MILES . I CONTACTED THE GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2012 THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO EVEN THOUGH IT WAS WELL UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMITS. I RECENTLY INHERITED THIS VEHICLE FROM MY MOTHER IN-LAW WHO WAS VERY SICK WITH CANCER. SHE DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE SINCE JANUARY OF 2012 DUE TO HER BEING EXTREMELY SICK. I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTS OF HER VEHICLE AND ALL HER PAPERWORK. SHE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS PART. I DON'T WANT GM. TO FIX THIS SINCE I HAVE MY OWN MECHANIC BUT FEEL THEY SHOULD WARRANTY THE PART. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE PART JUST A EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY WERE OFFERING. AFTER LOOKING AT YOUR WEBSITE I SEE THAT THERE MOST DEFIANTLY WAS A RECALL AND THIS VEHICLE NEVER GOT FIXED . I CANT SAY WHETHER THE RECALL LETTER GOT LOST IN THE MAIL OR WAS NEVER SENT. THEY SAID THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION DOES RECALL NOT THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS NO RECALL THEY WERE JUST OFFERING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I JUST WANT CHEVROLET TO STEP UP TO THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN. THANK YOU *TR
