| Car started making a rattling noise when i turned to the right shortly after having a spring replaced in drivers side front tire. within a week the rattling progressed to a grinding. dealership refused to look at it, knowing i was about to go on a long trip. i left for my trip (9 hour drive) after about 5 hours, this grinding noise was constant, then abs light came on, started messing with my steering, then, while trying to get to a dealership in the closest city ( still an hour away from my destination) tire broke off at the bearings while driving down a major 4 lane highway. thank goodness the other cars were able to miss me, avoiding a major accident. although i was told you don't have a lawsuit unless there's an injury, so i don't know if it was good or not!!!!! *nm the transmission would slip when shifting from first to second gear. updated *jb | |||

| We leased a 2004 chevy blazer in july of 2004, this vehicle rocks, shimmies, shakes, rattles, hard to handle at higher speeds, even when standing still and there is traffic going by at 45 mph the vehicle rocks, so it is not safe at any speed. took it back to the dealer sundance chevrolet in grand ledge mi, they could not find anything wrong, but did do some repair work on the transmission. chevrolet would not even go into arbitration, but did put a 90,000 bumper to bumper warranty on the vehicle. when driving the vehicle in high winds it feels as it you are on a roller coaster ride.*jb | |||
