“I purchesed a 1991 olds cutless supream, in april 2001, I bought it from a used car place, buy here pay here place, the car had no problems when I bought it. To make a long story short, I was driving on the freeway, when I heard a pop sound, so I decided to pull my car over, well in the process, I noticed I had no stering ability's. Lucky I ended up in grass anyways. When I had the car towed to my auto place. The macanic, told me that there rear suspension went on the car. And that it was a recall back in 1997.”
