NHTSA Complaint #10191776 — 2006 FORD EXPLORER

I BOUGHT A FORD EXPLORER HYBRID LAST YEAR AND IT HAS ABOUT 2,000 MILES ON IT. ANYWAYS, I WAS DRIVING IT YESTERDAY TO WORK AND I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE MOVING TO THE RIGHT TURN LANE, AND AS I WAS DOING SO THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED LIKE IT DID IT WHEN THE KEY WAS OUT. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES JUST BEFORE I HEADED STRAIGHT INTO THE LOCAL CVS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, AND THEY PERFORMED THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC, BUT NOTHING CAME UP. I KNEW STEERING WHEELS WERE SUPPOSED TO LOCK UP WHEN DRIVING, SO BEFORE ANYONE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS, I DECIDED TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION.*AK
