“On march 22, 2018, my 2017 Subaru Impreza sport wagon, with approximately 10,000 miles experienced a catastrophic failure of the rear suspension components traveling at 8 miles per hour. I was proceeding through a green light ' making a right. 3/4 of the way thru the turn I felt a violent jarring of my car on the left side and the driver's side curtain airbag slammed the left side of my upper body neck and head. I saw that my direction of travel did not change I started to pull off to the side of the road and apply the brakes. Had no brakes. …”
