WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA FELT LIKE A TIRE HAD GONE FLAT.. AFTER NOTICING THE PROBLEM I WENT TO PULL OVER AND THE ENTIRE SUV PULLED TO THE RIGHT ALMOST HITTING A PARKED BOAT. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE PASSANGERS SIDE TIRE WAS SIDEWAYS.. HALF UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHO I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND THERE NOT WILLING TO HELP FOR FREE AS I DONT HAVE A WARRANTY.. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THE SECOND PROBLEM IVE HAD WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT 8 MONTHS PRIOR. I CHECKED WITH A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THE AXLE WAS BROKEN AND THE BEARINGS AND BALL JOINTS COULD BE BUSTED. LUCKY FOR ME I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I HAD BEEN 20 MINUITES PRIOR AND HEADING BACK TO.*AK
