Description of the problem | In early morning after returning from dr. Appointment while traveling west on i8 i was in between 2 tractor trailers was 3 tractor trailers being passed in slow lane all were going 75mph or so when i got to middle semi.. All sudden the 2020 mitsubishi outlander 3300miles 1. 5 months old ... Shut down... Nuthing then it jumped to right and i thought i was going under semis trailer i grasped steering wheel with right hand and tried to keep vehicle going straight in my lane but by then i was 2ft from trailer and all sudden the car started shuddering violently and wheels ( front seemed to lock up and the a super loud banging and metal and i could hear parts and pieces sounded like they were flying allover and by this time semis that watched it all happen slowed and i was able to regain control although the interior filled with smoke and was hard to see out windows i had no power it came on for split second then off igot to side of highway and stopped .. Took a few moments to compile myself before getting out didnt wait long maby 5 second all this happened in moments . I'm 60 and have never ever felt a blow like this . There is a problem with these vehicles . Mitsubishi came and grabbed it with in 1. 5 hours took it to casa grande iv asked them tonight to dont touch the car yet. Weather they will or not i dont know i think it needs to be severely looked at by ntsb.. Contact me asap before they try to cover it .. I was going straight and holding wheel with just a couple fingers with left hand . When all hell went wrong. Theres 1000 ft of marks from fluids at mile marker 95. 1 in fast lane of az i8 west bound and probably pieces of vehicle def oil of some type for 1000 ft or hundreds anyway.. Happened yesterday. |
