Tl* the contact owned a 2015 lexus ct. While stopped in traffic, the contact's vehicle was rear ended by a 2005 subaru crossfire.

My vehicle was in an accident on the freeway when my steering wheel started to wiggle- within 3 seconds my steering wheel violently steering left to right uncontrollably that caused the vehicle to spin out of control on the freeway causing a total loss collision. My vehicle has been serviced prior to the accident at lexus of beverly hills at jim faulk- did a full service inspection, tire rotation to make sure safely of the vehicle. The vehicle is also still under warranty.
I have been having a loud barking sound near the driver side lower side near or behind the firewall. This occurs regularly when braking and even occurs when I depress the brake so I can turn the car on. It mostly happens when nearing a complete stop and pressing the brakes moderately. The pedal will even vibrate like a cell phone with noise. There appears slightly reduced braking response as this happens although not much. It sounds like old pipes with fluid moving through it but sharper.
