| My son was in an accident due to the recall which we were never informed about. he was driving on a straight away for about 20 feet when he felt a pop like he got a flat tire and then he lost all control of his car which did a 180* spin and slif into bushes after hitting a small curb. his tire was sideways, when advised there was alot of damage i found out they had a recall on this make and vin# which we were never notified about and asked a mechanic if this could of caused his accident and was told most definately. my son missed hitting a tree by 24 inches. i want his car fixed and the insurance company taken care of for the deductible and to make sure he won't get a surcharge on his policy for a manufactureres defect which resulted in an accident. my son went to vermont last weekend and i can't bare the thought if this had happened on the highway. *ak | |||
