STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
HAD NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT AS IF THERE WAS TOO MUCH "PLAY" LIKE IT WAS "WOBBLY" ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING OVER A RAISED BUMP IN THE ROADWAYS: THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD "GIVE" TOO MUCH. THIS HAD ALSO BEEN NOTICED BY ANOTHER PERSON WHO RECENTLY DROVE VEHICLE FOR A SHORT DISTANCE. I HAD PLANNED ON GETTING THE VEHICLE'S UNDERCARRIAGE INSPECTED ON JUNE 8TH TO CONFIRM WHETHER THERE WAS CAUSE FOR ALARM. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON JUNE 2ND. THIS ACCIDENT WAS UNFORESEEN .... IT DID NOT INVOLVE ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE SPEED WAS NOT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, YET WHEN IT APPEARED THAT THE STEERING WAS UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED, I WAS DRIVING EAST IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A TWO LANE ROADWAY, (THE OPPOSITE TWO LANE TRAFFIC IS DIVIDED BY AN ESPLANADE). THE VEHICLE VEERED INTO LEFT CORRESPONDING LANE, STRIKING THE EDGE OF THE ESPLANADE CURB WITH THE FRONT LEFT DRIVERS TIRE. THE CAR PROCEEDED TO NOT ONLY START A LEFT ROLLOVER, UP ONTO THE ESPLANADE, BUT APPARENTLY FLIPPED OVER FROM FRONT TO BACK, AND LANDED BACK UPRIGHT ALL THE WAY OVER THE ESPLANADE, ON THE OPPOSITE TWO LANE ROADWAY; AND FACING WEST --- THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT I WAS TRAVELING IN! THIS VEHICLE IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING TOTALLED...AND I AM CONCERNED THAT EITHER WAY, IF THERE IS A NEED FOR AN INVESTIGATION, OR IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL INCIDENCES LIKE THIS THAT CONSUMERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF, THEN I NEED TO KNOW. NOT TO MENTION THAT UNLESS THERE'S EVIDENCE OTHERWISE, I WOULD PROBABLY PURCHASE ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER; THE COMFORT AND RIDE WAS SOMETHING THAT I DID ENJOY.*AK
