Description of the problem | This is to document and report that i purchased my 2018 chevy camarillo on april 15, 2020 with 18,000 miles. My car accident occurred on august 20, 2020 at approximately 6:15pm. It was a clear evening as i was on my way home from work. I was stopped at the intersection, ready to turn right to catch the freeway entrance. As i proceeded to turn right, from a two lane right turn lane, i released my foot from the brake and began attempting the right hand turn. The steering wheel became drastically harder and ultimately impossible to turn to control causing me to hop the center isle hitting a center divider. A chp officer patrolling the area, who witnessed the accident, confirmed i was not speeding as he noted there were no signs of tread marks to suggests i was speeding. Additionally, no accident report was taken. By pure luck, i did not hit or injure another vehicle or property. I did however, sustain bruising from the airbags deploying, back pain and other aches. I reviewed the history of the chevy cameron |
