“A few days ago I had an accident. I made a left turn onto the expressway ramp at 42 MPH. The road was wet and Audi in the middle of the turn activated “precrash sensors” and began to brake hard and the system locked the steering wheel. The car was completely uncontrollable and crashed the front wheel into the high curb, which damaged the wheels, rim and axles. The Audi exchange dealership in il checked and the sensors are functioning properly. They claimed that I imagine things that do not exist as they said it was impossible for the car to take control and to brake the car. …”
