THIS IS REGARDING THE RECENT NEWS BRIEF THAT I SAW YESTERDAY. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I WAS DRIVING AND A DEER JUMPED OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY, I SWERVED VERY SLIGHTLY AS IT WAS NOT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN DID A SHARP RIGHT AND I WENT DOWN INTO AN EMBANKMENT AND HIT A TREE MAKING MY CAR A TOTAL LOSS. THE NEXT DAY I VISITED THE CAR AND NOTICED THE MY RIGHT REAR WHEEL WAS TURNED INWARDS WITH NO OTHER DAMAGE AROUND OR ON THE WHEEL. I LOOKED UNDER THE SUSPENSION AND NOTICED THE KNUCKLE WAS SNAPPED. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT IT HAPPENED TO ME. I WALKED AWAY WITH ONLY A BRUISE ON MY KNEE BUT THE CAR WAS TOTALED. *TR ....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF UPDATED 09/19/2017*JS

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
