Consumer Description

2000 DODGE INTREPID WITH 47,000 MILES JUST GOT 2 MONTHS AGO. STEERING WHEEL HAD 2" OF PLAY IN IT BUT STILL DROVE OKAY AND I THOUGHT I COULD LIVE WITH IT UNTILL I COULD SAVE ENOUGH $$ TO GET NEW RACK AND PINION. *AK WAS TURNING LEFT AND STEERING LOCKED UP, HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS BEFORE I HIT SOMEONE WALKING!!! GUY THOUGHT I WAS TRYING TO KILL HIM AND HE GAVE IT TO ME. I YANKED ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND GOT THE HECK OUT OF THERE. NOW WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR I EXPECT THE LOCK UP AND ABLE TO CONTROL IT BUT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE ITS GETTING WORSE AND I CANT AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED AND ITS MY ONLY CAR. OH WELL JUST HAVE TO DIE TO GET ACTION. THANKS FOR NOT HELPING US OUT HERE.
