Driving west approx. 35 MPH lady pulled in front of across 4 lanes traffic hit broadside on her passenger side. Little damage to her car. Over $6000. Damage to my car. No air bag deployed. Driver of my car hurt wrist and hit knees on dash. Ended up 8 months later having knee surgery because of tear in knee from wreck. Passenger hurt wrists.
My 16 yr old son was driving in a cul-de-sac when he was about 3/4 of the way thru the curve his steering failed and he hit a light pole. He stated that the steering wheel froze up on him. He couldn't turn the wheel. We took the vehicle to chevy dealership. They stated that the recall work was already completed. Then why are we continuing to have this problem? My son is suffering from whiplash and is going to chiropractor visits twice weekly.
