Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My mother just had an accident this morning and from her describing that 98 toyota camry was out of control and break seemed not working at all. so i started looking for vehicle recalls and defects then i realized this accident my mother had could be caused by defects. if you just look, you could easily find many others complaints. she was driving at 55 mph and trying to change lane then next thing she know was car started to swerving so she tried to regain control then hit the break which did not function. i will have to look for legal advise within next couple of days and see what they say. by the way air bags were not activated. please let me know if there was any lawsuit or compensation for this kind of fatal accident. thank you. *nm
