Hello everyone,
I recently was in an accident with my 2002 GP GT. I was travelling through a green light when a driver travelling the other direction turned left in front of me. The front left quarter of my car was all smucked up.
Long story short, I had it towed to a reputable dealer/ bodyshop here in London, Ontario (MacMaster Chev. if anyone has had experiences...).
the bodyshop twice now because it handled very poorly and wouldn't drive straight. It also makes a "clunk" noise when executing slow speed turns, or accelerating and braking. It doesn't happen all the time, but usually a hard acc. or brake causes it to "clunk".
After the second trip back to the dealer the car is reasonably aligned and drives fairly straight, but still not perfect. But, the clunk noise is getting worse. They said they fixed it last time and would only tell me it was a "simple mechanical problem" but nothing else.
Any ideas on what it could be? Before the accident the car drove straight as an arrow, and was one of the smoothest vehicles I have had the pleasure to drive. I was also promised a vehicle in "pre-accident condition" but it doesn't look like that is going to happen any time soon. I'm a student and I've worked many long hours at minimum wage to afford this car... and I feel as if they may not be taking me seriouly due to my age. Any advise on this? Any experiences? I don't want to keep returning to the dealer.
Thanks very much in advance for any help on the matter, I appriciate it. Ian snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com
