Consumer Description

RENTED A 2011 FORD TAURUS IN MAUI; DRIVING BACK FROM HANA AFTER DARK, WE COULDN'T SEE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE HEADLIGHTS, WHICH APPEARED TO BE SEVERELY OUT OF ADJUSTMENT --- THEY AIMED LEFT. THE ROAD IS NARROW, SO WE SLOWED TO 25MPH, +/-; WE HIT THE END OF A BROKEN CURB, DESTROYING THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE RENTAL COMPANY IS HITTING US $800 FOR A $400 FACTORY MAG WHEEL, PLUS A NEW TIRE. WE COULD HAVE QUITE EASILY GONE OVER THE EDGE INTO THE OCEAN, CONSIDERING WE COULDN'T SEE THE EDGE OF THE ROAD; SOMEBODY DRIVING A 2011 TAURUS SOUTHBOUND ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY 1 AFTER DARK WOULD BE PUTTING THEIR LIFE IN JEOPARDY. *TR
