NHTSA Complaint #10668615 — 2011 JEEP WRANGLER

I WAS TRAVELING NORTH IT HAD SNOWED THE DAY PRIOR ROADS WERE SLICK OR SO I THOUGHT THE JEEP WAS STEERING STRANGE I WAS TRAVELING UP A SMALL INCLINE AND TOOK THE FIRST OF TWO TURNS I MADE THE FIRST AND LOST ALL CONTROL GOING INTO THE SECOND IN TO THE DITCH MISSING A LARGE TREE AND BOUNCED OUT OF THE DITCH AND DOWN THE DITCH ON THE OTHER SIDE. WITH MY SEAT BELT ON I WAS STILL THROWN ALL AROUND THE CAB OF THE JEEP IN PAIN STILL THANK YOU. AFTER GETTING A TOW TRUCK WE FOUND THE STEERING BAR COMING OFF THE STEERING BOX WAS OFF AND WHEN WE LOOKED CLOSER THE SHAFT ON THE STEERING BOX HAD BROKEN COMPLETELY OFF. I FIND THIS HARD TO BE LEAVE THAT SHAFT IS OVER A HALF INCH THICK. SO TO SUM IT UP I AM VERY LUCKY I HAD NOT MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD NO HAVE BEEN A GOOD THING FOR MYSELF AND ANY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY THAT NIGHT. *TR
