| Description of the problem | We purchased the car on 6/30/05. On 7/4/05, my dayghters friend was driving on the freeway, when he heard a loud bang. Thinking that there was a flat tire, he proceeded to move into the breakdown lane. No sooner had he done this, the vehicle began bucking, went airborne, and flipped a minimum of 3 times. None of the airbags deployed. Thankfully he wasnt injured, but his passenger was. He had a small gash in his head which required 2 staples. |
