Consumer Description

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN.THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AND I WENT OVER THE SIDEWALK AND OFF THE ROAD INTO SOME ONES FRONT YARD. LUCKLY THIS WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC. HE SAID IT HAS A BAD RACK AND PINION. I HAVE A 2000 DODGE INTREPID THAT I HAD SINCE NEW WITH ONLY 49,000 MILES ON IT.THE MECHANIC SAID THEIR IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAVE WENT OUT. IT COST ME OVER $1200 TO FIX THIS . PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE SOME ONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THANKS. *AK
