| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On sept 3 my wife was driving our 2003 mitsubishi outlander when it veered to the right so sharply that it almost pulled the steering wheel from her grasp. the could not duplicate the occurrence,we decided we would get it checked out next week. before we could get the vehicle checked out,due to hurricane katrina,on sept.9 my youngest daughter was just leaving school, had only gone a few hundred yards when the car suddenly veered to the right,causing her to go off the road and flip the car. a witness said she saw something fly out from underneath the car just before the crash. with the car upside down we all saw the cv joint broken. i looked on the side of the road down from the accident site and found a part that may be the cause of the crash,i am checking this out,but have also found out through internet research that this is a problem with this model vehicle. does someone have to die before an investigation is done concerning this serious flaw in construction. |
