My car was parked in the driveway, I went to open the driver's side door and the door handle broke off. This presents a safety hazard because if the fact this car only has one key entry. So if you lock your keys in the car and your driver's handle breaks off or doesn't work your not getting in your car even with your keys becuz there is only one key hole on the driver's side. 3 months after the driver's door handle broke off. I was shopping came out of store went to put my groceries in front passenger side and that door handle broke off. So that leaves me no there choice but to leave my windows down enough to be able reach in and open the door from inside or or leave my doors unlocked becuz I can not unlock my doors with the one key entry becuz of the door handle breaking off. What if some how the doors were to accidently lock with a small child inside ? You would not be able get into that car to get that child!

My wheel an brakes locked while I was driving causing me to hit two cars parked my airbags never came out the driver side tire an front end busted fluids leak out an it happened on a city street vechile was towed
Coming off of the highway the cars steering wheel locked up and would not let me turn it nor would my brake work. The car did a complete 360 and smashed into the guard rail on the side of the highway. I was only going 40 miles per hour and all of the road conditions were clear. There were no cars around me and prior to the accident I had all control of the car. For additional detail, the mechanic and dealership stated that when they plugged the car into the electrical code finder that they could not generate a code that showed the wheel or car locked up.
On august 6, 2016 I was merging onto the 33 east from the cayuga road entrance in cheektowaga, ny. As I tried to merge onto the thruway my steering completely went loose and lost control. I couldn't grab hold of the wheel, and my car went completely insane and crossed the 3 lanes of traffic on the thruway and hit the guardrail, then bounced off the guardrail, crossing back through those 3 lanes and I ended up in a ditch on the opposite side of the guardrail.my car is completely totaled, and I was taken to the hospital er by my mother & my car was towed by cheektowaga police to millers towing on genesee street. The only thing the hospital diagnosed me with was whiplash. I have no idea or explanation as to what could have caused my steering wheel and whole car to lose control like that. I contacted general motors and filed a claim with them. General motors sent out an investigator to come check out what happened to my car. The investigator only plugged my car into his computer, after unplugging the battery (which was not necessary to do at all). After he investigated it, general motors called me and said my claim was denied. I feel that my car was improperly inspected, it should have at least been put up on a lift to have the steering rack looked at, seeing as that's where the problem occurred. I have 3 witnesses that stopped alongside of the road with me and said it was like my car was "possessed." the car had a steering recall that I got fixed at a general motors facility in november of 2015, 4 months after I had bought the car. I feel that I should be compensated by gm for my losses. I did nothing wrong to make the car act like that or loose control, they had no explanation for me as to what happened to make the car do that.
On 95 highway south near carson va a white big bag fell off a tractor trailer in was on the highway road it damage my radiator and back end of my car. Repairs had to be done to mybcar
I was driving home in the afternoon. I lost control of the power steering. I tried to merge out of my lane so I would not impact another car. I had no control of the steering at all. I was unable to merge, I hit the back end of a utility truck.
Knocking loud noise coming from the motor, mechanic found the front and back motor mount broken along with the bolts also broken. Repaired cost $474.10. Front of body not aligned properly there is a gap within the hood and the car body don't know whether was caused by the motor shifting around.
Was following a car they want to stop and I couldn't stop and rear ended the car.
