| 2008 | STEERING | ON MARCH 7 2009, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING A 2008 CHEVY COBALT LT, THE VEHICLE WAS A RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING BEHAVED VERY ERRATICALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS CATEGORIZED AS A DUI (.089 BAC) BUT I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE STEERING, I DID MENTION THIS IN THE INITIAL POLICE REPORT BUT, BUT MY DUI TOOK PRECEDENCE OVER EVERYTHING ELSE. I WAS HOSPITALIZED WITH SIGNIFICANT INJURIES AND COSTS. KINDLY ADVICE AS TO HOW I CAN SEEK SOME RELIEF FROM THE CONSEQUENCES BOTH FINANCIAL, PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND LEGAL. I WILL CONSULT AN ATTORNEY IN THIS MATTER AS WELL, BUT WOULD LIKE TO LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT ABOUT THE INCIDENT. *TR |
| 2007 | STEERING | WHILE DRIVING E. ON HIGHWAY 60 IN AZ, I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL STICKING ONCE IN A WHILE. AFTER DRIVING THRU DEVEL'S CANYON THE STEERING KEPT PULLING TO THE RIGHT A LITTLE THEN IT WOULD STOP PULLING, OVER AND OVER. WHEN I WAS ON FLAT ROAD AGAIN THE STEERING PULLED REAL SHARP TO THE RIGHT AND WOULD NOT TURN LEFT, AFTER A SECOND OF THIS THE STEERING FINALLY FREED ITSELF AGAIN BUT MAKING THE STEERING VERY TOUCHY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE CAR STARTED SWEERVING SIDE TO SIDE AND ENDED UP HITTING THE GUARD RAIL ON THE EAST BOUND SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING APROX. 52 MPH IN A 55 MPH AREA. WHEN I HIT THE GUARD RAIL THE CAR HIT ALMOST HEAD ON AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. |
