THE VEHICLE STARTED TO TURN ITSELF WHEN DRIVING AND COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED WHILE DRIVING. THIS LEAD TO US TAKING IT TO A TIRE SHOP AND WE WERE TOLD THE BUSHINGS ON THE RACK AND PINION AND THE BUSHINGS ON THE TIRE ROD WERE GONE OFF THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE BUSHINGS WERE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE LOSS OF CONTROL WAS SO BAD ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OF THE BUSHINGS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE TO BE REPAIRED. WE ALMOST LOSS COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE TWICE BEFORE WE FOUND OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE EXTREME PULL IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION BUSHINGS AND THE TIRE ROD BUSHINGS AND TIGHTENED THE TIRE ROD BOLTS. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION FOR US AND WE WERE CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY...

#10173300 | November 12, 2006 Crash

WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING THE STEERING SYSTEM SUDDENLY FAILED TO RESPOND, TOTAL FAILURE, NO STEERING CONTROL, WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR STEERED ITSELF HARD TO THE RIGHT INTO A CONCRETE BARACAD ON THE FREEWAY AND TOTALED THE CAR. AIR BAGS ALSO FAILED TO WORK. I HAVE STORED THE CAR. IT HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED SINCE THE ACCIDENT. I WILL KEEP IT IN STORAGE FOR A SHORT TIME IN CASE YOU WANT TO INSPECT IT. IT APPEARS BASED ON AN EXTERNAL VISUAL ONLY INSPECTION THAT COMPONENTS IN THE RACK AND PINION STEERING SYSTEM FAILED. I HAVE TAKEN SOME DIGITAL PHOTOS.*JB
