Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS 55MPH A CLUNK WAS HEARD WHILE IN A TURN, AND THE LOWER RIGHT END OF THE CAR SANK DOWN. THE STEERING WENT COMPLETELY CRAZY AND OUT OF CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 20MPH FOR THE ENTIRE 30 MILE TRIP HOME. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME WAS BACK IN JANUARY 2019 WHEN THE LEFT ONE BROKE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK AGAIN! AND NOW I SEE THERE IS A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION ABOUT THIS EXACT THING.
