LW200

  • 100,000 miles
While driving my car with 2 special needs children in it my steering wheel went crazy. It went from being center to vertical. I drove as close to home as I could get and then my car came to a grinding hault. I thought I uad a flat tire but thats not what it was. After towing it home we looked under it and the engine cradle had broke!! when this happened it broke the control arm on my car causing my tire to rotate inward and back into the fender well. We have not been able to fix it and we have no other car. The only way the children were hurt was psychological, sincethey are autistic. Noone was injured but if the cradle broke causing the control arm to break while driving I very well could have lost control. We were stranded in the dark, with 2 special needs kids and noway home. If we were on the highway it could have been fatal!!
