At 70 miles/hour my general motors power steering assist was on full assist and caused an accident. General motors secretly removed the power assist, replaced it and then jimmied the entire car to present false evidence that the accident was caused by bad driver car maintenance. They then denied the claim based on photographs they had taken of my car after they had changed everything. The accident on 7/20/2018, occurred on a highway during a sunny late morning. The car was totalled.

I have had a 2000 Chevrolet Prizm and now someone threatened my life to force me to buy a 2001 Chevrolet Prizm. The windows of these cars fog up too severe to drive in minor or major rain and freezing rain. When it rains we have to pull over to the side of the road on highways and in cities and towns and wait for it to stop raining for the car to be safe to drive. Most all other cars have windows that are safe to dive with but these cars are not safe for driving in the rain.

I was driving to help a friend move about 4 block from my apartment complex on Thursday 18th July at approximately 12:20pm. About two blocks from my apartment, I looked over to my right shoulder to check my blind spot to merge into the next lane and when I turned back the car in front of me slammed on their brakes and stopped suddenly. By this time I was within two car lengths away and slammed my brakes. My car began slowing down but slid straight into the back of her vehicle. After I rear ended her I look ahead and noitce a 4 car build up with the 5th car ahead making an illegal u turn in the middle of the street. My entire front of my car was pretty much destroyed with all new parts having to be bought. Because my car is front well drive the front dipped and did not do much damage to the other persons vehicle (1999 Honda accord cope) except scratched her bumper. I only have liability so her car is being fixed and I have to pay for mine out of pocket. Because the left fender was badly dented, it hindered the front door from being able to open and I remained pinned into my car for a while. I noticed that my air bags never even went off which could have prevent the little whip lash I received. I am currently experiencing slight pains behind my neck.
I had a 180 degree turn accident caused on the morning of 5/16/05 at I-96 east, livonia mi with my chevy Prizm that had all the four tiers replaced on 11/04. One of the bf goodrich tiers (rear) was the cause of the accident. The relatively new tier (had only 9,000 miles on it) kind of has burst into two or more pieces and had made me slid from one lane to another, hitting the median and turned 180. The rear of the car is greatly damaged. The car was towed and taken to the sam's club where the tier was replaced. We have filed complaints with bf good rich, and gm. The rear tier seems to be the leading cause for the failure. We still have not fixed the car except the rear tier. We have the old tier with us.
