problem #2

Mar 152002

Bravada 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 57,698 miles
My vehicle was purchased as used with 33,000 miles, I purchased an extended warranty which has paid for many repairs to date, March of 2002 my vehicle had the lower ball joints replaced under this warranty. I had vehicle inspected private garage and they noted lower ball joint wear, I contacted Oldsmobile because the parts were replaced at an olds dealer the manufacturer of my vehicle incident number 1-65943454 they noted contacting dealer and would repair vehicle, and since it was covered under the warranty I purchased would not compensate other repairs, I wanted to file complaint because replacement ball joints only lasted a year and that these were also defective parts.
