As I was driving from the gas station I took a left and as I accelerated, the engine started to vibrate. I I had never noticed this before that day. So proceed to take my time carefully back to work. I examined the undercarriage of my 99 Lesabre custom and that's where I noticed that the drivers side subframe bushings have all but fell out due to severe rust. Thankfully the passenger side is still firmly attached. Upon further research, this is a common problem with GM cars of this era and the dorman replacement parts are readily available. Had this component failed on both sides the engine and transmission would have fallen out and caused an accident or worse. I am still trying to figure out if this is a recall issue or just a bad choice of vehicle design by GM and their lack of concern for the publics well being. These subframe bushings should have been or should be a viable recall concern today. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

While traveling at 60 mph and over a bump, the vehicle would jump all over the road consumer first noticed that vehicle leaned severely on curves, this would almost cause loss of vehicle control, at times, the back shocks would bottom out, consumer had the rear springs replaced. Recently, consumer lost control of the vehicle, overcorrected, and vehicle overturned, consumer was killed in the accident, his wife was also injured. Vehicle also experienced a rattle in the dashboard, the dealer pulled the dash forward to secure it better, however the rattle returned, so consumer fixed problem himself.
