| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I owned a 1995 dodge dakota 4 x 4 that lost the front passenger side wheel on the interstate (at 65 mph) in december 1996. this vehicle had been into the dodge dealership shop the week before because, the front end was making a noise and, pulling to the right. the shop told me there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. one week later i had this accident .i now have a permanent neck and, back injury which require me to be on pain management,have epidurals every 3 months for the chronic cervical and,lumbar pain. i also miss work due to this condition. i believe chrysler dodge knew there was a defect at this time. i contacted an attorney when this happened but, was not able to pursue this due to the fact the vehicle was taken into a dodge dealership by the wrecker, when the accident happened and, we were never able to obtain the parts or, wheel from my vehicle. i feel that a extensive investigation needs to be done to avoid anyone else being permanently hurt or, killed for corporate greed. ps..... i have the vin # [xxx].. your form did not accept this vin #. also, this was not reported to the police as this was the only vehicle involved. but, allstate insurance paid for the repairs and, my medical costs. *nm updated 07/26/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) |
