Complaint Description: me and my wife were driving about 45 miles an hour when the rear end of my car started sliding i try to correct the fish tale but the driver rear tire and rim folded under the car which cause the car to flip several times no airbags deployed the car was so crushed i had to dig down into the ditch to free myself from the car upon taking a closer look i realized the sway bar had pulled apart from both sides of the rear of the car also the main support of the rear suspension had broken in too therefore causing the car to flip we could have easily died in this crash and 2 year old and our 6 month old would have no parents. *nlm .
