Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY EX-FIANCE'S SUV ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 70 MPH. I STARTED HEARING A NOISE AND THOUGHT MAYBE IT'S JUST THE CAR IN BACK OF ME. THEN THE CAR STARTED OUT OF CONTROL. I COULDN'T STEER IT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I HIT THE CAR ON RIGHT SIDE, BUT MY CAR WOULDN'T STOP. SO THE CAR KEEP GOING AND I HIT THE GUARD RAIL OF THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR THEN FLIPPED AT IMPACT. WITNESS SAID THAT I ROLLED OVER 6 TIMES, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD NEVER STOP. I CAME OUT ONLY TO HAVE CUTS TO ME ELBOW WHICH REQUIRES 8 STICHES. I WAS IN SHOCK AND STILL AM NOW EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY CAR. I DON'T DARE DRIVE AN SUV ANYMORE. WHAT HAPPEN WAS THAT THE TREAD OF MY TIRES CAME OFF, WHICH CAUSE THE TIRE BLOWOUT. I'M STILL SCARE AND SHOCKED FROM ALL THAT HAD HAPPEN, BUT I AM LUCKY AND THANK GOD THAT I'M STILL ALIVE. (TIRESIZE: ATX)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: ATX )
