description: MY DAUGHTER BROUGHT A 2011 CHEVY AVEO IN WISCONSIN. WHEN SHE CAME BACK HOME THERE WERE SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT I USED HER CAR. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE HER CAR I DROVE IT TO WORK. WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE CAR JERKED VERY HARD TO THE LEFT. I HAD TO REALLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL HARDER THAN USUAL TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CALLED MY DAUGHTER AND ASKED HER ABOUT THE CAR JERKING TOWARDS INCOMING TRAFFIC. MY DAUGHTER STATED THAT THE CAR DID JERK SOMETIMES. I TOLD MY DAUGHTER TO GO GET THE CAR CHECKED OUT. I TOLD HER TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE JERKING OUT AND WHY THE CAR WAS WEARING OUT TIRES SO FAST. MY DAUGHTER HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND SHE WAS TOLD HER CAR COULDN'T BE ALIGNED. MY MOM, MY OTHER DAUGHTER, HER FATHER, STEP FATHER AND MYSELF DROVE THE CAR AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT JERKED WHILE EACH OF US DROVE IT. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DAUGHTER LOST HER LIFE IN AN ACCIDENT IN THAT SAME CHEVY AVEO IN 2014. I WAS TOLD TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT ON AUGUST 1 AT 11:45. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL THE CORONER AND THE STATE TROOPER MET ME IN A WAITING ROOM. THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY DAUGHTER PASSED AWAY IN THE CAR ACCIDENT SHE WAS INVOLVED IN. SHE HAD CROSSED OVER THE MEDIAN LINE AND ON THE SHOULDER. SHE TRIED TO CORRECT HERSELF AND GET BACK IN HER LANE AND WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND KILLED INSTANTLY. WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT I KNEW THAT THE CAR HAD JERKED ON HER AGAIN AND THIS TIME COST MY DAUGHTER HER LIFE. YES, IT WAS FOGGY AND DAMP FROM THE RAIN THA
