Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)WHILE DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, MY SCION TC 2007 VIOLENTLY SWERVED LEFT HITTING THE CENTER DIVIDER. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO BANK OFF THE CENTER DIVIDER AND PROCEED WITH A 180% TURN ACROSS THE TURNPIKE ENDING IN THE SLOW LANE FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FROM THERE A MOTORCYCLE HIT AND TOTALED THE SCION VEHICLE. UPON EXITING THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE TIE ROD WHICH ALLOWED THE WHEEL TO BE CONTROLLED BY THE STEERING WHEEL HAD POPPED OFF, CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. THE CAR REMAINS WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY AWAITING A MORE DETAILED INSPECTION. *TR
DRIVING STRAIGHT AT APPROX 40 MPH STEERING WHEEL PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT. UNABLE TO TURN IT BACK AND LOST CONTROL OF CAR TOTALED. CRASHED INTO A TREE. *JB SAW NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ABOUT ANOTHER ACCIDENT WITH SAME DESCRIPTION AND FATALITY IN MIAMI HERALD ON 9/9/07. THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN MECHANICAL FAILURE - THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT COINCIDENCE BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED OR KILLED. UPDATED 12/12/07
