Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY WHEN I HEARD A BANG AND THE CAR PULLED ME HARD INTO THE MEDIUM AT 75 MILES AN HOUR. I TOTALED MY CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BALL JOINT HAS SHEARED OFF CAUSING THE TIRE TO JAM IN TO THE FENDER. FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET OF THE ROAD AND IT WAS ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS TIME IT WAS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. MY 3 YOUNG KIDS WHERE IN THE BACK SEAT AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR
