problem #1

Focus 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 11,500 miles
On sun 8/28/05 I was driving North on I69. Just South of exit 25 I was going to pass a rv. I checked my mirrors and though it was safe to pass, but I missed judged the car behind me and he was in my passing lane. I jerked back into my lane. When straightening up something popped in my steering. As a result I when sliding sideways down the highway. I finally ended up slowly gliding down the guard rail. I could not steer my car.
