I heard vibration by the rear drivers side wheel. I inspected the vehicle and noticed I could actually move (wobble) the wheel, it came loose from the frame according to 3 car shops. I even took it to a Chevy dealership, it was deemed unsafe to drive. Also the frame is completely corroded, there are parts of the unibody frame that are just missing due to rust and corrosion. The rest of the car is in very good shape, but due to the frame issue its now unsafe to drive and way too expensive to repair. Any recalls on the 1998 Cavalier?
