2002 Chevrolet Tracker Suspension Problems

“I was driving to work one night when my right front tire felt like its was going to fall off I slowed down and pulled off on the side of the road could not find out why it was doing this when the tire was fine. So I drove very slowly with my caution lights on to and from work because as long as you did under 40 it didn't feel like that. …”

“I was driving on a two-way residential street, just picked up our two youngest grandson's from school, when the passenger side tire jammed, very unexpectedly, up in the area between the engine and frame of the Tracker.

“After a year of repairs including muffler system, front sway bar, shifter cable and alternator, I finally got to drive my chevy Tracker and noticed immediately a shake (4/12) that night, the oil pan developed a leak. I finally saved up enough to get that fixed in 1/13, I still noticed a shake, but needed to get the brake lines repaired. I did that and still noticed the shake and it was getting worse.

I could not drive the vehicle with out it constantly shaking. I had it towed to a mechanic who informed me the vehicle suspension cross member bar had rotted out and was completely full of rust. After a full inspection I was told from the mechanic that my car is mechanically sound and there is no other rust anywhere in the vehicle. The mechanic told me about a recall with this part. My 2002 chevy Tracker has just over 85000 miles . …”
