Description of the problem | I was in the far left lane of interstate 255 in southern illinois. A tractor trailer was in the process of cutting my off when i honked and he proceed back into his lane. I had brake quickly and with both hands on the wheel when the car lost control and i was swerving within the lane for around 2 minutes before i could regain control of the car. I almost clipped another car as well as the median, but barley missed both. I had both hands on the wheel, i did not stomp on the brakes, and yet i still lost control of the car. It also constantly sways to one side as well as the brakes lose grip if you run over any bump at all. You guys need to recall these cars, they are not safe and i am not paying almost 400 dollars a month for a car that could easily injure me in an accident. |
