2009 MERCURY MARINER Wheels Problems

Drivers rear shock rusted off the wheel well causing wheel to snap and metal frame to hit the ground while I was traveling 40 mph. At this time the other wheels locked up and started squealing causing loss of control of vehicle shooting me across lanes and hitting curbs on both sides. This was heard all the way inside a church and they came running out. If I had not been able to gain control it would have flipped. The vehicle is available for inspection. It has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service other than the tow truck attendant telling me that the car need to be junk because it could not be repaired. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, or insurance company as it only has liability insurance. A police officer did show up on seen to direct traffic around vehicle...

LAST YEAR IN APRIL I GOT THE CAR , DIDN'T HAVE IT FOR A WEEK THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT . I GOT IT FIXED . HERE IT IS 2020 OF AUGUST , THE POWER STEERING ASSIST CAME ON . THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME . I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP REPLACING THIS SAME PART . I LOOKED INTO THE RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE .

THREE DAYS LATER ON THE DATE OF 11/11/2017, MY POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON! MY 2009 MERCURY MARINER WAS STATIONARY AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN!
