Consumer Description

I AM IN RECEIPT OF THE PAPERWORK CONCERNING THE ABOVE CLAIMED FOR MY VEHICLE. THE PAPERWORK IN MY POSSESSION CLEARLY STATES THAT FARMERS INSURANCE HAS MADE ME AWARE THAT MY VEHICLE 'HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS'. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THESE FINDINGS SINCE IT SEEMED MY VEHICLE ONLY SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGES TO THE EXTERIOR ONLY. AIRBAGS WHERE NOT DEPLOYED NOR ANY WINDOWS SHATTERED. I AM ALSO IN RECEIPT OF THE PAPERWORK CONCERNING MY CLAIM AND DETERMINING I AM 51% AT FAULT TOWARDS THE ACCIDENT. I CLEARLY GAVE MY SIDE OF THE STORY TO THE POLICE OFFICE THAT MY STEERING WHEEL HAD LOCKED AND I WAS UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. I WAS NOT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY DRUGS SO I FEEL MECHANICAL FAILURE SHOULD BE ASSESSED. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION WAS ALSO SENT TO ME WHERE IT CLEARLY STATES RECALL NOTICES FOR MY VEHICLE. RECALL NOTICE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 14V719000, DATED BY THE MANUFACTURER NOVEMBER 10, 2014 STATES A RECALL NOTICE NAMING THE STEERING AS THE COMPONENT NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER GMC/CHEVROLET CONCERNING THIS MATTER. UPON REVIEW OF THIS LETTER, PLEASE ALSO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE RECALLS THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED ME AND RECONSIDER PURSUING OF SUBROGATION FROM A THIRD PARTY, I.E. GMC/CHEVROLET MANUFACTURER.
