Description of the problem | On june 19 at approximately 9:15am, i was driving home from work to take my son to summer camp. I was about 5 minutes from my job. I had just crossed a bridge. My car hit a guardrail and i spun into the middle of the lane. I was not distracted or on my phone. I take that same road everyday and never had an issue. When i got out of the car, i noticed that the axle and wheel had come completely off. I was told by the witnesses and the tow truck driver that the cv axle had broke off which caused me to hit the guardrail. I am a safe driver and this was my first accident. I purchased the car in january of this year from carvana and it was delivered to me on february 2nd. The car was serviced in january according to the paperwork that i found in the glove compartment. Had i been on the highway, this could have been a more serious issue. I was not speeding. There was a car in front of me that was merging off onto the off ramp so i had actually slowed down. That axle should not have come off that easily. Something needs to be done about this. |
