problem #1

May 292006

Torrent 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,300 miles
While driving down a residential street, there was a wobble in the front right of the car. The car suddenly spun out of control and crashed into a telephone pole. Both air bags deployed. My son, who was driving, was slightly injured and burned from the air bags. There is significant body damage to the right front of the vehicle. The body shop that has the car said the right front knuckle broke thereby causing the tire to fall off and loss of steering control. Other additional damage is a bent frame and bent brake calipers. I bought this car new from the dealer on 4/29/06.
