WHEN IM DRIVING AND HAVE TO COME TO A SLOW STOP IM HEARING THE MASTER CYLINDER SOUND LIKE ITS RUBBING AGAINST SOMETHING LOUDLY EVEN WITH THE APPROPRIATE BRAKE FLUID AND MEASURE IS FILLED WITHIN IT, ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS HOT AIR DURING THE SUMMER CAUSING THE CAR TO FAIL DURING HOT WEATHER
VEHICLE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN A PARKING LOT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CONSUMER FELT LIKE SHE HIT A POT HOLE. CONSUMER THEN GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL BECAME DETACHED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SHOP FOR REPAIR.*AK
FRONT RIGHT WHEEL COLLAPSED AND FOLDED UNDER CAR RESTING ON THE OUTSIDE RIM. POLICE WERE SUMMONED BUT MADE NO REPORT BECAUSE NO OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE OCCURRED AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF NEGLIGENCE. I DEMANDED THAT FARMERS INSURANCE HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED BY THEIR ENGINEERING FIRM. THE ENGINEER SAID DAMAGE WAS CONSISTENT WITH HITTING A POTHOLE AT 30-40 MPH AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF EXISTING METAL FATIGUE. THERE WAS NO POTHOLE AND SPEED WAS 12 MPH (WHILE SLOWING ON A STEEP DOWNHILL FOR A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT). THERE WAS NO "IMPACT DAMAGE" TO ALUMINUM TIRE RIM (AS YOU WOULD EXPECT IF YOU HIT AN OBJECT HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE WHEEL TO FOLD). ENGINEER WAS "UNABLE TO EXPLAIN THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE." I CONTINUE TO PURSUE WITH FARMERS INSURANCE BECAUSE I BELIEVE A BALL-JOINT FAILURE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT BALL JOINTS ON NHTSA'S SITE...
