April 11, 2014 I was traveling up 85 North to atlanta between 9:30 pm & 10:00pm. Just outside of macon county on mile marker 45 there was a car speeding in the work zone where signs were up saying unleveled road. I exchanged lanes to the right side which was the paved side and came near the bridge and hit a hard bump which made my car hop up and slam down hard. I had to pull over and stop because my tires were smoking. My strut bottomed out and was sitting on my tire making it not drivable because the tires were rubbing against the strut. Two other cars hit the same bump including the state trooper that came to assist me. I called my insurance but the couldn't pinpoint where I was. So I ended up calling the state trooper and had to pay out of the pocket for towing back to montgomery. There were no signs or cones in the road to notify that there was a rough bump in the road. I need help with this cause I spent money on this damage and feel useless because of a bump that disable my only car for work.

The consumer stated the vehicle was handling poorly. When hitting a bump it felt like one was riding on a wave. The vehicle felt like the weight was being tossed too much. It bounced when hitting a bump, and it leaned when turning. Before this it caused the consumers daughter to get her shoe stuck under the brake pedal. The consumer contacted a mechanic, they told her that the struts were bad. She was waiting to have them replaced. There were no other known problems with the vehicle at this time. The rear struts were replaced as well. Updated 12/07/05.
