Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving on i 75, i suddenly felt as if i had no control of my car. i said something to the girl riding in the passenger seat that there was something wrong with the car. we watched as we drifted slowly into the right lane into a huge semi!! after hitting his cab (thank goodness we didn't hit further back and go under the truck), the car went to the left and i stopped on the left shoulder of the highway. it felt a little like when you hydro-plane (it was not raining), but i couldn't explain what happened. i thought maybe my right front tire had blown out, but the entire right front had been shredded by the truck. i was charged with the accident for failing to keep my car under control. i have been sued for property damage ($100,000) to the truck and now i am being sued for his personal injuries. i sent your info about the volvo investigation to the insurance adjuster. i was without my car for weeks. i bought the volvo because i wanted the safest car and now realize that my son's girlfriend and i easily could have been killed that day. *nm |
