“I purchased a uses 2004 Pontiac Montana on 1/23/05 and on 9/21/05 as I was driving on a city downhill street the rear axel became dislodged from the car. Pieces fell off the car and just missed oncoming traffic. Luckily I was only traveling about 25 mi. Per hr. The road was clear and dry. The car stopped immediately. It was determined that the tie rod holding the rear axel looked rusted and it cracked. The rod holding the rear axel is very thin metal and has designed holes in it. Just doesn't look like what should be holding a whole rear axel. …”
