Description of the problem | I was in a parking lot. I backed out when i started to shift into drive the car accelerated and started to spin in circles. The steering wheel locked. I was not in control of the car and nothing would worked in the car. I couldn't shift gears so i shoved it into park. The car finally stopped but not before it hit an island causing $7822 in damages to the rear of the car. The air bags did not deploy. I was quite shaken up but had no serious injury. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was contacted at the local and regional levels. They had someone look at the vehicle but after 7 weeks they still have not contacted me with their findings. I am not driving the vehicle and i have not had it repaired. I fear that if i have it repaired and i sell the vehicle, it is an unsafe car and someone else will get hurt. I have found several reports of similar occurrences on the internet. |
