| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My daughter had un-buckled her seat belt because it had locked up, so i went to make a quick stop so i could buckle her back up. i stepped on the brakes moderately hard and the anti-locks activated for about 1 second, then suddenly the wheels completely locked up and the van went into an uncontrollable skid. i hit an 8" curb head on, jumped over it and landed on the front lawn of a motel and skidded to a stop. the front tires popped, the wheels were pushed all the way back to the back of the wheel wells, the frame is bent (body lines don't line up) and i'm sure there is much more wrong with it. the abs light and traction control light started coming on about a week earlier every time the traction control kicked in. the information center would also say "service tracking system" and "service abs system." i did as the manual says; turned the key off then turned it back on and the lights would go out. so i assumed everything would be ok in a bind. the dealership is trying to say it's my fault and that they will be filing with my insurance company. the police report notes the abs light was on after the accident. i have pictures of the skid marks and the damage, and i am note sure the edr that this vehicle is equipped with would reflect the same thing or not. *jb |
