| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Soy propietario de una blazer 95 traccion de dos ruedas, automatica. vivo en guatemala, centro america. el domingo 22 de junio a eso de las17:00 hrs, era una tarde lluviosa y transitaba por la autopista interamericana aia (la que atraviesa america) en direccion a la ciudad de guatemala, a una velocidad aproximada de 80 kms/h (50 miles/h) cuando al tomar una curva facil y abierta perdi la direccion del timon como si el carro estuviera flotando, el carro empezo a rigar como un trompo, en el sentido de las agujas del reloj, se salio de la carretera del lado derecho, se volco sobre el costado derecho y se arrastro 10 mts en esa posicion. viajaba con mi esposa, una empleada y mis tres hijos (8 a?os, 4 a?os y 9meses) afortunadamente solo hubo golpes y dolores de cuello. on sunday, june 22, at 5:00 p.m., there was an afternoon rain and i was traveling on the transamerica highway aia (which crosses america) going towards guatemala city, at approximately 80 kilometers/hour (50 miles/h). when taking a gentle and open curve, i lost control of the wheel, as if the vehicle was floating. the vehicle began to spin like a top, clockwise, and went off the right side of the highway. it turned over on its right side and slid for 10 meters in this position. i was traveling with my wife, an employee, and my three children (8 years, 4 years, and 9 months). fortunately, we only suffered bruises and neck pains. i've always been aware that the blazer is an extremely unstable vehicle; i've also experienced the brake pedal inexplicably going to the floor; and that the alternator of these vehicles goes out before 40,000 kilometers. my theory of the accident: a dangerous and unstable vehicle encounters all of the necessary elements: water on the pavement, and small curve, and a speed that the vehicle does not tolerate, precisely because of the vehicle's instability. |
