I was in a very serious accident on august 7th, at 10:30 am while driving in the middle lane of the mass pike rt. 90 framingham, mass. I thought my kia sehpia was in accelent condition, but while I was driving in the middle lane, the steering wheel and column started shaking and I could not steer the vehicle. I tried to keep the vehicle in the lane but could not control the steering. The car screeched and was pulling to the right. To my immediate right was a large ryder rental truck, I braced myself and hit the left front end of the truck. The rest is a blur, I spun around and the rear of my car hit the guard rail and I fortunately stopped in the breakdown lane. It happened so fast, but what is most upsetting, I don't know what happened. I'm not sure if it was a steering column problem or a tire problem. All I know is, I was driving safetly and then my car when out off control. The right front of my vechicle was severly damaged, and my passenger side air bag did not deploy.

Vehicle orginally started with a very hard pull to the right & vibration at highway speeds. When taken to dealership for repairs, told that service techs would not allow me to have back until repairs made because vehicle was dangerous to drive. After crossmember realign, still had a hard pull & vibration. Returned to dealership. Front tires replaced. Still has hard pull & vibration but now at lower speeds. Manufactor contacted all times but unable to remedy problem at this point. Vehicle dangerous at any speed above 40mph since vehicle will vear hard to the right especially upon acceleration.
