What owners wrote
Per report tje suspension system and aorbag recall. When I purchased vehicle, information was warrant to me. I total loss my car due to suspension and axle malfuntion. It caused me to hit a curb. I could not gain control.
Defective rear differential pinion bushing resulting in a audible "clunk" when shifting gears. The automotive aftermarket offers a rear differential pinion brace to compensate for the poor GM design.
