“The contact owns a 1999 Suzuki Esteem. While driving at 55 MPH in dry conditions the vehicle began to pull to the right and produced a rubbing noise.

The mechanic inspected the vehicle and diagnosed that a possible cause of failure was the air conditioner leaking and may have rusted through the vehicle's frame.
