MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT THAT TRACTION CONTROL IS DISABLED. THE LIGHT COMES ON BRIEFLY WHEN I TAKE SHARP LEFT TURNS.

#10443371 |
WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH HEARD A CLUNK BY THE BACK REAR PASSENGER TIRE, THE TOP OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS TILTED IN. APPEARED TO HAVE A BROKEN LATERAL ARM WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING ANY RATE OF SPEED THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I CONTACTED SATURN WHO TOOK MY CLAIM AND ADMITTED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LATERAL ARM IN 2005. THIS SUPPOSELY WAS TAKEN IN TO A DEALERSHIP AND FIXED. I DIDN'T OWN THIS VEHICLE THEN. SATURN REFUSES TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND SAID IT VERY LIKELY COULDVE BEEN A FAULTLY PART BUT SINCE IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF IN 2005 NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE. I FEEL I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF, LOST CONTROL AND/OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE IF I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE DRIFTED ONTO THE GRASSY SHOULDER. WITHOUT HITTING MY BRAKES, I STEERED BACK ONTO THE ROAD. THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE FISH-TAILED SLIGHTLY. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING, THE DRIVER'S BACK WHEEL BENT UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO ROLL OVER, PASSENGER SIDE FIRST, ONTO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. DURING THE ROLL-OVER, NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, BOTH DRIVER- SIDE TIRES BLEW, BOTH AXLES BENT, THE TOPS OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE DOORS CRUMPLED, THE PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOWS SHATTERED, AND THE ROOF CRUMPLED LIKE A CRUSHED ALUMINUM CAN. I RECEIVED NUMEROUS INJURIES, INCLUDING NECK/BACK/SHOULDER STRAINS, BROKEN RIBS AND DAMAGE TO MY RIGHT KNEE AND ANKLE.
