Consumer Description

LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM AND UPPER CV SHAFT SEPARATED FROM TRANSMISSION WHILE ENTERING AN ON RAMP, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND DRIVEABILITY. COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY HAD THE SPEED BEEN FASTER AND ANY CLOSER TO THE OVERPASS BARRIER. I HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SIDE OF THE ON RAMP WITH THE POLICE WAIVING PEOPLE AROUND. I COULDN'T EVEN EXIT MY DRIVERS DOOR DUE TO NO TRAFFIC CLEARANCE. I WAS ESSENTIALLY A SITTING DUCK ON THE SHOULDER OF AN ON RAMP, JUST A FEW FEET SHY OF THE OVERPASS OF THE HIGHWAY I HAD JUST EXITED TO ENTER ANOTHER HIGHWAY.
