Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM THE STORE MAY 3RD 2014 AND CAME INTO A CURVE ON ROUTE 20 BETWEEN PRINCETON AND ATHENS W.V.. THE CURVE WAS TO THE RIGHT IN A LOW BUT STEEP BANK AT 40 MPH AND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL CALIPER GRABBED CAUSING IMMEDIATE LOSS OF SPEED AND CAUSED MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL BUT REGAINED AS SOON AS THE CALIPER RELEASED WHICH WAS IN APPROXIMATELY TWO SECONDS. FORTUNATELY NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS AROUND OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN MESSY. THE WHEEL WAS FEELING SLUGGISH AFTER THE INCIDENT AND I'M NO LONGER HAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE, IT IS TO DANGEROUS. THE SAME THING JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY MAY 4TH 2014. *TR
