Description of the problem | I have a 2007 hyundai elantra. I've had 35 years of driving experience. I was driving on the 60 freeway on saturday, sept 27. As i went to change lanes, the car started to swerve left and right, as if it was losing control somehow. I tried to control it as best as i could, but my efforts were futile. I had swerved nearly 6 lanes and crashed into the center divider. Thankfully, nobody was injured. It is highly likely that there was a serious problem with the steering and brake systems, possibly a defect in the car. The car is currently totaled. |
