I was driving the chevy traverse on a 1 way street at about 35 MPH..when suddenly without warning the car lerched to the left..driver had 0 control over the steering of the vehicle...the car drove us head on into an oak tree..the only reason we were not killed is that the airbags deployed or I would not be typing this now...while researching this I found many other traverses that were also built in virginia and had the same problem..I also know GM was class actioned sued for this issue in 2012...need to be sued…
