Dec 222007

Catera 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 74,000 miles
While driving down the highway at approx. 55 mph, came upon driver moving slow, had to brake, then began to pass, front end made a loud, horrible noise, and within seconds the front wheel flew off the vehicle, Catera struck another person's trailer and the Catera was a total loss. Dealer had car for repairs about 3 of the 5 months I've owned the car.
