Consumer Description

DRIVING 5MPH ONTO STREET FROM DRIVEWAY, LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN STOPPED, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL WAS POINTING AWAY FROM THE INTENDED DIRECTION. THE BOLT CONNECTING THE CONTROL ARM TO THE WHEEL HAD SHEARED OFF. DUE TO THE DECOUPLING, THE LEFT AXLE WAS PULLED OUT OF TRANSMISSION AND WAS DAMAGED AS WELL. LUCKILY, THIS OCCURRED AT A SLOW SPEED AND NO ONE WAS INJURED (AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC).
