Owner Narrative

I was at the grocery store, XXX about 10:00pm, got a few things of food, I got in the care and started to drive home, I was at a stop sign in the parking lot, took off from SS, going about 5mph, the passenger wheel turned sideways, the bottom of the wheel was facing horizontal because the upside-down lower ball joint let go, just separated with no advanced notice or sound, it just happened, 2006 Honda Accord EX, 2.4L. This is an engineering defect(abortion) which should have been corrected many, many years ago. This is Honda Motor Company's fault and the need to be liable, because they are civilly, this has been going on so long without consequences, it should be criminal. This has happened over the years on Accords 2003-2007 and other models also, I have always owned civics and never experienced this. When this happened, the FRAME slammed on the ground, it was very Traumatizing, to put it mildly. This is one of the most Traumatizing things I have experienced in my life, this frame slamming on the ground, it's a very horrible feeling. This is unacceptable from a car Manufacturer in the [XXX], this should never happen, it's very traumatizing, so BAD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
