Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE I-10 EXPRESSWAY IN NEW ORLEANS, THE STEERING MECHANISM STOPPED WORKING, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I DID NOT CRASH INTO OTHER VEHICLES. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE I-10 HEADING TOWARDS MY BROTHER'S HOME TO TELL HIM ABOUT MY SITUATION. HE WASN'T HOME. I CALLED HIM ON THE CELL PHONE. HE TOLD ME TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND CALL TRIPLE A. AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY TO PARK THE LAND ROVER, THE STEERING WHEEL SPUN LIKE A TOP WITH NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TRIPLE A ARRIVED AND DISCOVERED A STEERING BOLT SEPARATION. THEY TIGHTENED THE BOLT AND TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY RESIDENCE BECAUSE IT WAS THE JULY 4TH WEEKEND, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOME, NOT THE DEALERSHIP. (I MAILED YOU A LETTER ON JUNE 12, 2006 WITH THE REST OF THE DETAILS). *NM
