WAS DRIVING 40 MPH ON A 2-LANE NORTHBOUND HIGHWAY. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND SUNNY. A CAR PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND INSTEAD OF PULLING INTO THE RIGHT LANE, IT PULLED INTO MY LEFT LANE. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES A HARDER THAN NORMAL. AT THAT POINT BOTH REAR LEAF SPRINGS FAILED AND BLEW APART, DAMAGING THE DRIVE SHAFT AND PULLING THE DRIVE SHAFT FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. THE REAR AXLE WAS PUSHED TO THE VERY BACK OF THE VEHICLE, MAKING IT UN-DRIVABLE. THERE WAS ALSO SOME OTHER UNDERSIDE DAMAGE, SUCH AS THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE LINE, SEALS, GASKETS, ETC. I FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM, HOWEVER THEY DETERMINED THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A "MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE." I HAVE FULL COVERAGE AND NONE OF THIS WAS COVERED UNDER EITHER COLLISION (I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANYTHING) OR COMPREHENSIVE. REPAIRS FOR ALL THIS ARE $4200 WHICH ARE BEING REPAIRED BY A GM-CERTIFIED MECHANIC AT A GM DEALERSHIP. I AM NOW OUT $4200 AND HAVE NO RECOURSE WITH GM. I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE OWNED IT SINCE JULY 2005. I HAVE MAINTAINED IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GM RECOMMENDATIONS OVER THE YEARS AND IT WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. ...UPDATED 08/14/14 *BF
