What owners wrote

I was driving my intrepid, a new engine was just put into it, and they did a complete inspection of everything at the same time. I was going 50 miles an hour swerved to miss an animal, suddenly the left wheel must of broke, put me into a spin, I spun around several times ending flipped over into a ditch. No explanation except their must of been manufacturer defect in the steering or wheel assemblies. It was a slight swerve nothing extreme.
