| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My daughter was driving my 2004 trailblazer on an icy, slippery road at 25 -30 miles per hour, (the speed limit is 30, it was the street we live on) when she lost control, hit a tree and totaled ($22,000.00) the vehicle. the officer and i walked the path in the street and could not find any signs of skidding or braking, there fore leading me to believe now that there was a braking failure. up until now, when i heard about the brakes failing do to corrosion from road salt, i always thought it was just an accident in poor road conditions. when i first read the report of the investigation i couldn't belive it was the same scenario as her accident. poor road conditions, therefore possible salt buildup, a slow speed and inability to stop. i am so gratefull that she walked away without a scratch, also considering the air bags did not deploy, even though the front end was totaled. i am sure this is a problem that must be identified for those living in colder, northern states. |
