Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, MY VEHICLE TOOK A HARD SHARP RIGHT WHILE I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. IF A CAR HAD BEEN BESIDE ME I WOULD OF CRASHED. I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE SO, I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE TIRES AND ALL WERE FINE. AS I GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE KEPT PULLING RIGHT. WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO MAKE A LEFT I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AFTER MUCH " MAN HANDLING" WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD AND 3 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. MY CHILDREN WERE CRYING. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. I HOPE A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED SOON AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ONE HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED THUS FAR. MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT THE EQUINOX BECAUSE WE PREVIOUSLY HAD A CAMRY THAT ACCELERATED ON ME WHILE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CAR SAFETY? I AM BEGINNING TO NOT FEEL SAFE IN ANY VEHICLE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
