Takata recall upon leaving my condominium parking lot, there is a slight curb you must drive over before exiting. The left lower control arm came loose while making a right turn onto a local city street. Resulting in the vehical to collapse on the drivers side of the car. The frame is rested on the front left tire, also damaging the drivers side door as a result. Considering the facts, the car was then completely immobile. I had to call a tow costing $100 in order to move it about 150 ft. Back to my designated parking space. Recall # 95V175000. This happened on 07/05/2017.

The contact owns a 1995 Chevrolet Astro. The contact stated that the torsion bar failed, which increased the risk of a crash. The driver side torsion bar was replaced previously and now the passenger side has failed. The vehicle is unable to be driven. The wheel scrapes against the fender when attempting to make a turn. The dealer stated that they upgraded the part because the bar was too long. The torsion bar for his vehicle has a new size, therefore, the contact would need to replace both sides. He is not willing to pay for the replacement. The current mileage is 175,000 and failure mileage was 135,000.
