| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Was driving down an decline in the road and was applying the brake gently due to stop light at the oncoming intersection, which i saw that was red, but it changed to green and i reapplied the gas at this time. then , i heard a great loud noise and this thing was in my face, and i could not see . i knew that i needed to get the car off the road, but i was fighting the airbag to see the road and to prevent me from hitting a car in front, i used my right hand to fight the airbag and my left to steer the car. at this point i was thinking i had passed the intersection which had a small area for flowers or signs, had a 4-6 curb, but when i turned the wheel toward the right to get off the road i ran upon the median( across the curb which was 4-6 inches in height, and this damaged the tire rims . they were bend and damaged the tires , all four went flat. i still managed to get the car to safety without any real injury to myself. i am still in daze with this freak occurrence. i have never experience d anything like this. i would like to hear from others., but mainly i would like to know what caused this. the car had been hit in the rear approximately 6 months prior, in which the whole trunk area and back had to be replaced. could this have been a factor? i really need answers. keep it mind, i have driven this road for 40 years without an accident. i can't understand this with a new car and new tires.*ak |
