“The front upper control arm failed and the driver side wheel collapsed. There was no warning. Luckily I wasn’t pulling my RV camper down a mountain, it could have been catastrophic . I towed it to Carson Chevrolet. They gave me an estimate of $6,000 + for repairs. They had no reasonable explanation.”

“My trucks leaf springs need to be replaced. I am not a mechanic so I do not know if my safety is at risk, but I do not like the way it sounds when driving.

I was not notified of the issue on my chevy ap or the truck. I had to take it in for an oil change, so I had the guys look at the area the noise was coming from.”

Now I have lost my safe driving deduction because of this claim, which caused my insurance to skyrocket. …”
