ON MARCH 27, 2020, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN MY CAR'S ABS LIGHTS, BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHTS, STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS, AND ANOTHER LIGHT I DID NOT RECOGNIZE ALL LIT UP AT THE SAME TIME. MY CAR BEGAN TO SWERVE AND SUDDENLY MY CAR'S STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND WASN'T ABLE TO CORRECT ANYTHING BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS WERE BOTH LOCKED. I HIT A FARM FENCE WITH THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR, AND SLID ACROSS THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE THE SUDDEN IMPACT TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE CAR WHEELS WERE SO LOCKED UP THAT THE TOW TRUCK DRIVERS HAD DIFFICULTY LOADING THE CAR ON/OFF THE TOW TRUCK. THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS STAYED ON, EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS, MY CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BUT I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BY TURNING THE IGNITION KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON. I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF MY DASHBOARD AFTER THE ACCIDENT TO SHOW WHAT EMERGENCY LIGHTS WERE LIT UP. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS IN THE PROCESS OF INVESTIGATING THIS CLAIM, BUT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN CASE THIS IS A RECALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SENT OUT.
