ON DECEMBER 23, 2020 I WAS DRIVING APRX 30 MPH. I BREAK TO GO OVER A TRAIN TRACK BRINGING MY SPEED TO ROUGHLY 20MPH. I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE METAL BUT I FIGURED IT WAS FROM THE TRAIN TRACKS. THERE WAS A WIDE BEND A FEW FEET UP THE WAY. I GET MY SPEED TO 40MPH AND START GOING AROUND THE BEND. I SLOW DOWN AND TRY TURNING TO TURN THE WHEEL. I COULD TURN THE WHEEL BUT THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING IN THE DIRECTION I WAS TURNING. I PRESS THE BREAK BUT I BEGAN TO HYDROPLANE CAUSING ME AND MY 3 CHILDREN TO CRASH INTO A HUGE DITCH DRAIN. UPON FARTHER INSPECTION THE TOWER IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS MY WHEEL ALIGNMENT. MY WHEELS WERE NOT POINTING THE SAME DIRECTION MEANING SOMETHING WITH THE STEERING BROKE (POSSIBLY THE NOISE I HEARD.) I HAVE RESEARCHED SINCE THIS DAY AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR OUTLANDERS STARTING IN 2008.
