Lower control arms on both wheels broke off from bushing. My mechanic said my car was the 15th Oldsmobile that this happen to. He also told me this was not cause by wear or tear. This is a major defect that occurs in Oldsmobile he also said mileage has nothing to do with this., cosidering he had to replace 15 olds with the same problem I had.. this could cause a major accident on some highway. It is a major problem waiting to happen. My dealer told me because of the mileage I have. No way according to my mechanic. It is a major defect. Please let me know what can be done the repair bill was $340 to replace both control arms.I also like to be reimperse. Thank you.
