RECALL!

Well, after research, we've found out our particular make an model of our car had a few recalls! Ones that correlate with the problems we were having and would've contributed to Boricua's wreck!
There was a recall about the steering column or area there of. The nut was missing or the screw wasn't torqued or tight enough. Any visible signs your car has this malfunction, the car was make a clicking noise when you'd turn the wheel. Our did that since we purchased it! The result of this recall: Any sudden steering change could cause the car to loose control and result in a car accident.
The second recall was a malfunction in the Traction control/stability service system. Like I mentioned before, the system would intermittently turn on and off. We thought it had something to do with the sensors! The result with this malfunction: The car will have no traction and easily loose control!
Like I mentioned, where Boricua crashed, there is NO CURVES.
He is going to court to fix this little citation he got about "going too fast around a curve". He only received that citation because the driver behind him said that's what happened! Even though it was dark, there's no street lights and he was tailgating him....oh, he could barely speak any English as well.
And who was this cop?? Couldn't he see the way of the road?
I swear. Some people!
Anyway, we still haven't bought our mini-van yet. We're looking and waiting for our insurance co to pay off the bank. We will get financed through the same bank. We're driving a Chevrolet HHR and it's ridiculous. It's like a PT Cruiser. We hate it. But, we're not paying for it and it's new, so whatever. It's better than NO CAR, right?
So, this where where we stand.
