Consumer Description

I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT MY STEERING LOCKING UP ON OCCASION. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED A COUPLE TIMES AND NOTED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED DURING WET WEATHER AT SLOWING SPEEDS (10-15MPH WITH BRAKES APPLIED), BUT ADDED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER EVEN WITH THE FULL FORCE OF MY BODY WEIGHT APPLIED TO ATTEMPT TO TURN THE WHEEL. I AM FEARFUL THAT THE PROBLEM COULD OCCUR AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT LUCKILY HAVEN'T YET. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES AND IS FRIGHTENING TO SAY THE LEAST. INCE THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE OFFERED NO SOLUTION.*AK
