| Today was just another day to work. i have taken this road to work for past two years with me driving. first you get off the ramp, then stop at a stop sign, then you pass under the bridge to follow the straight road to work. however, today it was different. i first took the exit ramp and went to the end of it. stopped at the stop sign. checked both sides to see if it was clear for me to proceed and go ahead with making a turn. it was clear so i made a left turn and went straight. however, within next 5 yards after going straight my car's steering wheel started to shake and car pulled to the left. i could not control the car since all this happened so fast and my car hit the huge cement pole which is the base of the bridge. after talking with my husband and many others, they believe that car has somehow malfunctioned. the two theories we have is either steering wheel getting locked or left wheel giving out in some manner. this was not a new road for me. i was not a phone. i was not texting. i was not distracted in anyway. the car just had its own mind today and somehow it pulled to the left. i do not know if there are others who have had this problem, but i wanted to tell my story since i am not hurt as much. if this happened while being faster, this could have been fatal. *tr | |||

| I was driving the car when the tire was punctured and the puncture went through the aluminum rim. i took the tire and rim to sears and they advised that this was not normal; they thought that the rim was defective. it is one thing for a nail to go through a tire, but it should not go through the rim. *tr | |||
