STRUCTURE
MY WIFE HAD JUST GOTTEN HOME FROM WORK, HAVING DRIVEN 17 MILES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS JUST LEAVING THE HOUSE AS SHE PULLED IN TO THE DRIVEWAY AND SHE REVERSED BACK ONTO THE STREET WHEN THE VEHICLE BROKE, LITERALLY. THE ENGINE CRADLE FRAME BROKE AND COLLASPED, BREAKING THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE PUSHING THE RIGHT TIRE UP AGAINST THE FENDER. THE VEHICLE STOPPED TOTALLY AND COULD NOT BE MOVED EXCEPT BY A TOW TRUCK. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON COORS BLVD JUST MINUTES EARLIER, THERES NO TELLING IF MY WIFE AND OTHERS WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY. IF THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEED, WHO KNOWS WHAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT BUDGET CAR SALES IN ALBUQUERQUE AND TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AFTER THE MISHAP. THAT WAS THE REASON I DID NOT COMPLETE THE DEALER INFORMATION. *AK
