Questions Answered Below: What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The vehicle is at a GM Dealership now and is available for inspection. I have not authorized repairs as of yet. I am being told by the dealership: The ball joint on the control arm on the left side seized snapping the axle shaft - causing the tire to to turn out. The dealership has suggested: Mechanical repair costs $1,850, Plus an additional $2,000 due to wheel well damage caused by the failure. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I am being told by the dealership: The ball joint on the control arm on the left side seized snapping the axle shaft - causing the tire to to turn out. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Due to my slow speed turning out of the parking lot ~10 mph - the vehicle came to a sudden halt. However, had this occurred while driving any faster - it would have been very dangerous and put myself and others at significant risk. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? It was towed by AAA and has been inspected by the GM Dealership. That is the only inspection thus far. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Earlier in the day while pulling out of a parking spot and turning the wheel to the left I thought I felt some type of resistance then it went away as I started driving. No other symptoms or warning prior to the failure.
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH GOING STRAIGHT WHEN MY CHEVY BLAZER ACTED AS IF IT 'HIT A BRICK WALL' AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I GOT OUT AND NOTICED MY RIGHT, FRONT WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY SMASHED INTO MY CAR. SOMETHING HAD COME LOOSE INTERNALLY AND LOCKED UP MY WHEEL. IT DAMAGED MY CAR SO BAD WHERE MY SUSPENSION WAS DAMAGED. IT HAD TO BE TOWED. IT WAS NON DRIVABLE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 1300 MILES ON IT. I DECIDED AT LAST MINUTE TO NOT GET ON HIGHWAY.
