Trailing arm broke in half for no reason. Looks like metal just ripped in half. I have the part that was taken off the car and replaced by the dealer under extended warranty. I was forced to pay for an alignment even though the only reason the car needed one was because the trailing arm failed. I have no confindence in the safety of this car. If I had been driving on the freeway at freeway speeds I would have lost control and possibly wrecked seriously injuring myself and possibly any other motorist around me.. dealer could not explain why this happened. The GM hotline was no help, they told me that they were sorry I have no confidence in the car and suggested that I get it checked periodically at the dealer. I asked to have a GM rep inspect my car and they refused. If the right side trailing arm broke for no reason it is only normal to suspect that the left side trailing may do the same thing.
