I was driving on a two-way residential street, just picked up our two youngest grandson's from school, when the passenger side tire jammed, very unexpectedly, up in the area between the engine and frame of the tracker. The tracker went mid air, and then rolled. Consumer handwriting is illegible. .updated 07/02/14
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet tracker. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact heard a loud popping noise, when he lost power steering making it difficult to control the vehicle. A private mechanic informed the contact that the cross member of the front suspension was corroded. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that they would be repair the cross member; however, the upper control arm was corroded and the warranty would not cover the procedure.
