Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STEERING ERRATICALLY AND PULLING TO THE LEFT PRIMARILY. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE WIND IS BUFFETING THE VEHICLE AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN A STEADY COURSE. WHEN FAMILY HAVE DRIVEN BEHIND ME IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. I WAS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED OUT THIS WEEK BUT I HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT AND I STRUCK AN ONCOMING VEHICLE.THE DAY WAS CLOUDY BUT DRY. THERE WERE NO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. BOTH CARS WERE TOTALED. I STRUCK THE VEHICLE LEFT HEAD LIGHT TO MY LEFT HEAD LIGHT. THE OTHER DRIVER AND I WERE BOTH HOSPITALIZED FOR INJURIES. WE ARE FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN KILLED. I RECEIVED A TICKET FOR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN LANE AND WILL GO TO COURT IN JUNE.THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR
