The sub frame bushing is completely rotted. Day it was sold to me passed inspection but on car fax it failed safety inspection? It cracks and creaks when turning left.

Car clouded up. Obstructing vision. Mechanic replaced heater core with gm part. Same thing happened in days. Replaced with another...same thing happened again. Supplier to mechanic indicated a common fault with that part. A third part (aftermarket) has been installed. If these gm parts were known by supplier to be faulty, why have they not been recalled and why did he not inform mechanic before the installation? Mechanic has installed part three times, and only been paid once. I was almost in an accident, hit a curb to avoid being hit. And lost a perfectly good tire as a result of loss of visibility. I have no complaint with the original part...the car has high mileage (buick lesabe, 1997,) just the two replacement parts that were pressure tested and failed within days of usage.

Dt: consumer owns a 1997 buick lesabre. Consumer was driving when vehicle shut off. She was able to coast a little but not enough to get completely out of traffic. She was stuck in vehicle because everything on vehicle shut down due to the ground cable coming loose, not loose from the motor block. Vehicle has been worked on, she did no feel that cable coming loose was due to a defect. She was more concerned that when vehicle lost power she was stuck in vehicle with no way to escape. The door locked and power windows did not work. The biggest concern was that there was no manual lock that could be used to unlock the door when power failed. She was stuck in vehicle with vehicle in the road and in danger of oncoming traffic. She stayed in vehicle one hour on a very hot day until she was able to contact a friend on cell phone, and he came to help her.
