2001 Chevrolet Tracker Steering Problems

“2001 chevy Tracker with rusted front cross member. The cross member rusted and broke leaving the lower a arm disconnect from the frame on one end. This causes an uncontrollable shake and totally out of control. This is extremely dangerous, especially at highway speeds. I contacted a chevy dealer and also general motors and was told that there is nothing that can be done because the special coverage offer had expired. The special coverage was for 10 years or 150,000 miles. My Tracker has 59,450 miles but was rejected because of a time limit. …”

It drives me nuts. When my car is idling after startup, it makes a clunking noise. While driving my car recently on the highway, it was very hard to control and I was only going 70mph. Sometimes the steering wheel never turns back either, while parking. …”

“After I clocked my 500 miles of driving my veheicle at 50 to 55 miles per hour. I took it on the road. It was at this time I actually thought the wheels were going to run off the veheicle. They wer wobbly. It also and still is hard for me to hold the veheicle in the road. It is one year later I have also developed a medical problem with the thing.
