This a complaint identical to #10210719 relating to the structure: Frame and members:underbody shields on a one owner 1999 Cavalier. The car has 35,000 original miles on it and it has been garaged since purchased. It belongs to my 85 year old mother. Had she gotten onto the highway and been traveling accordingly and hit a bump or pothole, this would have become a serious accident. This model is a fatality waiting to happen.

The sub-frame on the passenger side of my vehicle was almost completely rusted through along with the brake line on that side. The air conditioning overflow tube was releasing water onto that piece of metal. Although we do not know for sure if this was the cause the drivers side is not like that. Could have just been cheap metal. On Nov 30 of 07 I was driving my car to work and it just did not feel right. When you drive a car everyday you notice these things but cannot put your finger on it. The next day I went to the grocery store and the suspension felt very loose through the steering wheel and it felt like it was not turning correctly. The more I drove the worse it got. On the way home I drove only 20 miles an hour with my hazard lights on praying I would get home without incident or accident. It felt like the whole front end was going to fall off. Thank the good lord I did get home alright. My husband pulled of both wheels starting with left and then right and discovered the problem. We took pictures and called a tow truck to take it to our preferred auto shop. Both the tow truck driver and the guy at the shop said we were very lucky that nothing bad happened that we actually could have lost the front end. In all the cars that we have owned nothing like this has ever happened although this is the first and only Chevy we have had.
