| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||
