description: AFTER LEAVING MY COMMUNITY PROPERTY WITH MY 2015 FORD EXPLORER, I TURNED LEFT AT APPROXIMATELY 5-15 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY I HEARD A CLANK/SCRAPE AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE (IMAGE 1). SEE SCRAP ON CEMENT WHERE VEHICLE CONTROL WAS LOST IN THE STREET. VEHICLE STOPPED AT END OF SKID MARKS (IMAGE 2). AFTER TURNING LEFT (EAST) , I IMMEDIATELY LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHERE ORANGE VAN IS LOCATED, WHICH IS BELIEVED DUE TO AXLE BREAK (IMAGE 2). AFTER LOSING CONTROL, VEHICLE VEERED LEFT TOWARDS CURVE. I CONTINUED TO FIGHT FOR CONTROL AND VEHICLE HIT THE CURVE WHILE VEHICLE WAS HEADED BETWEEN TWO TREES TOWARDS HOMES. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MOMENTARILY GAIN CONTROL BEFORE VEHICLE WENT DOWN EMBANKMENT AND RETURN VEHICLE TO MAIN ROAD. SEE SKID MARKS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 75,038 MILES. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY CONTROL ARM BROKE WHICH CAUSED THE INCIDENT. HOWEVER, THEY WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE REPAIR.
