“I had owned my Outlander for just over a week and was attempting a normal left hand turn. My long-sleeve, cuffed shirt became caught on the lower portion of the right paddle shifter. As I attempted to straighten the car from the turn, the wheel turned and pulled my stuck right arm into an opening on the steering wheel.consequently, my vehicle continued turning into oncoming traffic as I both tried to stop and free my arm. Luckily, approaching traffic saw my car in enough time to avoid hitting me. …”
