My brother was driving a rented 15-passenger van full of kids on a freeway when a tie rod broke loose. Even with the steering wheel turned fully the other way, he couldn't counter-act the errant wheel. The van veered into the median and rolled onto its side. Luckily, nobody was seriously hurt. My brother was not ticketed, though perhaps the rental company was cited for negligent maintenance.
