description: ON AUGUST 1ST, 2015, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AT ABOUT 10 PM AT NIGHT. I WAS GOING UP A HILL THAT CURVED TO THE LEFT AND SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL. INSTEAD OF TURNING LEFT THE CAR PROCEEDED TO GO STRAIGHT WHERE I THEN BEGAN TO PANIC. I THEN SLAMMED MY BRAKE TO THE FLOOR AND IT SOMEHOW UNEXPECTEDLY SPED UP. I CRASHED INTO A POWER LINE AND SMASHED THE FRONT END INTO A TREE THAT HAD TOTALED MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SEAT BELT BURNS ON MY NECK, STITCHES ON MY KNEE, ABRASIONS, SUFFERED FROM A MINOR CONCUSSION, A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRUISES, SMALL CUTS ON MY HANDS AND FOREHEAD. I HAVE FULL MEDICAL DOCUMENTS OF MY INJURIES INCLUDING PICTURES. I LATER FOUND OUT THERE WERE 2 RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE A POWER STEERING AND 1 FULL THROTTLE BODY RECALL. THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED PREVIOUSLY IN 7/16/2013 & 10/26/2013 AND THERE WAS NO SOLUTION TO THE THROTTLE BODY RECALL EXCEPT A EXTEND WARRANTY. I ALSO WENT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 2 DAYS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND THEY MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT ANY OF THE RECALLS. THEY ALSO HAD NO CLUE WHY IT WAS MAKING THE STRANGE NOISES AND TOLD ME IT WAS FINE AFTER 4 HOURS OF SERVICE.
