Consumer Description

DRIVING BACK FROM LUNCH TO THE OFFICE I WAS CHANGING LANES ON A HEAVILY TRAFFIC AREA. WAS GOING ABOUT 30MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO FISH TAIL OUT OF CONTROL GOING SIDEWAYS INTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLAMMING INTO A ELECTRICAL POST. BOTH MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER WERE IN AWE. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR AND IT SEEMS EVENTHOUGH I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS IT KEPT INCREASING. THE HIT WAS SO HARD IT DAMAGED THE POST AND THE CAR SEVERELY. I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SINCE IT HAS TRACTION CONTROL IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER FISHTAILED AND AT THAT LOW SPEED. NO TIRE MARKS OR ANY SIGN OF ACCELERATION WERE FOUND. I AM TRYING TO FIND ANSWERS TO WHAT HAPPENED. ITS SCARY. *TR
