Consumer Description

CAR DID NOT STOP AND SEEMED TO ACCELERATE WHEN BRAKES HIT DURING TURN INTO DRIVEWAY. HIT CURB. LOST STEERING CONTROL AND CAR HAD TO BE TOWED BECAUSE OF SIGNIFICANT DAMAGES TO WHEEL AND ALSO POSSIBLY STEERING. SNOWY ROAD. I WAS ALREADY DRIVING VERY SLOWLY. NO REASON WHY THIS MUCH DAMAGE TO MY CAR OR THIS LEVEL OF IMPACT UNLESS CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BEYOND MY CURRENT SPEED WHILE I BRAKED. CAR SEEMS TO ACCELERATE ON SLIPPERY, UNEVEN SURFACES AND EVS LIGHT COMES ON, EVEN WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. ACCELERATION IS BEYOND THAT SEEN WITH NORMAL SLIPPAGE. IT IS NOT SIMPLY SLIPPAGE BUT ACTUAL BRIEF ACCELERATION. *TR
