problem #1

Oct 112006

Equinox 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,400 miles
The lower control arm of my 2005 Chevrolet Equinox snapped at 36,400 miles, almost 400 miles after my warranty expired, and I lost steering of my vehicle. I had a metallurgical engineer analyze the piece and he determined that it fractured due to metal fatigue.
