| Description of the problem | Early morning. Going n on i-75, exiting on exit 22 (glades parkway). Slowing down to exit, my daughter perceived a burning odor inside thecar, i tried to keep reducing the speed but the car accelerated by itself and the steering wheel locked, the exit curve was in front of us and thanks god we crashed into the sidewalk border, where the car went over the grass with the front right wheel, scratched the underneath and that allowed us to get out of the grass and stop the car. I am truly scared of getting into that car again. As a mater of fact, just thinking what may have happened, i do not want that car anymore, so i want to know what options do i have. Axle, suspension system, rack & pinion, bearings, wheel, engine supports, and more damaged. |
