While driving on the freeway going the speed limit I changed lanes and the rear of the car fished tailed. It happened so fast it scared me to death. I was very lucky to get the car under control. It was not raining and some what heavy traffic at the time. The car does not maneuver well. I have to be careful while changing lanes and do it slowly or the car jerks quickly and not smooth as my other cars I've owned.

As I was driving down 9E at approximately 3:20pm, I hit a pothole and popped my tire. I pulled over to the side of the road and after contacting my roadside assistance, I realized that there was 3 other vehicles that had been hit by the pothole as well. The police was notified and provided each driver with an accident report.
