Consumer Description

I WAS TURNING RIGHT ONTO A STREET AND THE CAR DIED. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I THEN TURNED INTO MY OFFICE PARKING GARAGE AND AS I WAS GOING DOWN ONE OF THE LEVELS I NOTICED THE STEERING ACTING STRANGE. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS LOOSE OR NOT CATCHING. I WENT A LITTLE FURTHER AND THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I HAD AN EXTREMELY HARD TIME GETTING INTO A PARKING SPACE BUT I DID. LATER IN THE MORNING WHEN A TOW TRUCK CAME TO PICK UP THE CAR, I GOT IN AND STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING. I LET THE TOW TRUCK TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT AND THE CAR DYING. IT IS AS THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS TIME. *JB
