I purchased a 1996 chevy cavalier z24 on may 13, 2004 with only 73,000 miles on it perfect condition, great car, well 7 days later my rear passenger tire snapped off resulting in me having an accident !! I am out of work now, I am trying to get compensated for this cause I am out of money, I feel this was not fair , this whole year I have tried to get lawyer after lawyer no one wants to help me I have the car still and the tire that snapped off , it's a perfect clean cut to the axle just by looking at it you can…
I have a 1996 chevrolet cavalier. The sub frame on the front has rotted and the lower control arm ripped out and the front wheel was ripped off at highway speeds. GM needs to recall all of these cars to evaluate the condition of these subframes. Repair or buy back if necessary.
