Driving down the highway in my car lost control. This was really scary. I saw severed craving for weld. The temperature outside was -25. I reported it to the dealer. He refused to help me. Now I'm afraid to drive this car. I fear for the lives of their loved ones. Date of incident: 27 january 2017 video scene: [link removed] I'm from russia. Hope only on you. My address [xxx] telephone [xxx] I do not wish that even someone hurt.
My son was driving and made a u turn on a city street and during the end of the u turn the passenger control arm snapped nearest to the wheel. The car did not hit a curb or run over anything to cause the break. The local police dept, tow truck driver and myself inspected the area and there was nothing that was "hit" to cause this.
