| Description of the problem | I was involved in an accident when my rav4 pulled to over the right side of the road causing the vehicle to strike a tree causing 7 broken ribs and it totaled my car . I saw a recall that was issued in september that the rear tire rods can cause you to lose control causing a crash recently and i know that was the reason for this crash i drive this road frequently and have never had an issue until august 11th my both arms were injured and my chest and shoulder had scrapes and cuts to which i blame on the manufacturer, i am still recovering from my injury and also believe the airbag didn't deploy in time because out of the 7 broken ribs my sternum bone was broken from the steering wheel!! |
