September 2013 CrashInjury

2007 chevy cobalt lt, bought new! Had a bushing wear away and was told I cannot just replace the bushing on this car so I had to replace the entire system. Also replaced front lower control arms, did all of this in march 2010. It is now jan 2011 and I need to replace everything again!! It hasn't even been a year. This has cost me well over $1000. Extremely hard to control the car, it wonders where ever it wants and also very easy to over correct. We need a recall!!!
