Consumer Description

I HIT A 6 INCH CURB AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. WHEN THE CAR HIT THE CURB THE STEERING KNUCKLE BROKE CAUSING THE LEFT FRONT TIRE ASSEMBLY TO COME OFF THE CAR RENDERING ME IN NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS BROKE TOO EASY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE IMPACT OF A 6 INCH CURB. IF THE KNUCKLE WOULD NOT HAVE BROKE I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STAY IN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND NOT HAVE CAUSED AS MUCH DAMAGE THAT DID OCCUR FROM THE TIRE COMING OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS SITUATION COULD PUT PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER AS SUCH A SMALL IMPACT CAUSES THE WHEEL TO COME OFF TAKING CONTROL AWAY FROM THE DRIVER. *TR
