NHTSA Complaint #744608 — 2000 PONTIAC SUNFIRE

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOORHOOD AT ABOUT 15-20 MPH, WHEN I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED CAR. THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENT WAS UNKNOWN AT THE TIME, BUT THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING MECHANICS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT MY CAR AND STATED TO ME THAT THE AXLE SNAPPED IN HALF. THIS WOULD OF OCCURED BEFORE I HIT THE OTHER CAR, BECAUSE I WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS FROM THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS, DUE TO THE SNAP OF THE AXLE. I HAVE TRIED TO ASK MANY PEOPLE TO LOOK AT IT, TO SEE WHAT THEY THINK WOULD OF BEEN THE CAUSE, BUT THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO. MANY MECHANICS HAVE STATED TO ME THAT THE IMPACT OF MY CAR WITH THE OTHER CAR WOULD NOT OF CAUSED IT TO SNAP. ALSO, WITH THE WAYS THAT THE CARS ENDED UP TOGETHER, THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO DETERMIN THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. *AK
