Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE WILL BE DRIVING FINE AND I WILL ATTEMPT TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AND INTERMITTENTLY THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WILL COME ON AND THE CAR WILL STOP! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES IN 2 WKS AND DEALER CAN NOT "DUPLICATE MY CONCERN" I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS 600 MILES ON IT, I DRIVE 15 MILES A DAY TO AND FROM WORK, NO HIGHWAY. DEALER CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND I AM FORCED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR COMES TO A STOP WHEN EVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. DEALER JUST TELLS ME "WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN GIVE US A CALL", THE SAME DAY I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALER AFTER THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, IT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT NIGHT I CALLED TO REPORT IT TO THE DEALER AND HE SUGGESTED I GO TO ANOTHER DEALER FURTHER AWAY FROM ME BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED FOR INVENTORY. SO I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNSAFELY.*AK
