Hello. I had a scary incident on friday, january 17 2014, and have been thinking about it and if it could have been prevented. I was driving on a state highway in pg county md when I heard a loud bang and my car suddenly swerved sharply to the left and crossed the center line into the path of an oncoming dump truck.

away and if the break had been a second or so later there would have been no time to react. My mechanic said it was a broken strut assembly and that he had never seen one break like that. It was pretty traumatic to think I could have been dead... Occasionally I read about an accident where a vehicle crosses the center line into the path of another vehicle. We are left with the assumption that this was due to driver inattention or impairment. When you investigate, do you ever find that these accidents are due to the failure of a vehicle part? If so, can you see ways that these accidents can be prevented, perhaps by having certain parts inspected regularly? Thank you for your attention to this issue. *Tr

I bought a used 1996 eagle vision tsi in 2006. Shortly, I realized there was a lot of play in the steering. I took the car to my mechanic and he said the rack and pinion steering was going. I said "what do you mean "going"?" He said eagles were notorious for their problems with the rack and pinion and mine needed to be replaced before I had an accident. My mechanic bought and installed a new rack that lasted for 1 and 1/2 years. This time I took the car to a different mechanic and did not tell him of the rack...
