Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE NYS THRUWAY. SHE PULLED OFF AT A REST AREA. SHE WAS FULLY STOPPED WAITING FOR A PARKING SPOT TO OPEN UP WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL. THE FRONT WHEELS WERE OSCILLATING LEFT AND RIGHT IN SYNC WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF IMMEDIATELY. AFTER A MINUTE SHE ATTEMPTED TO START IT AGAIN. IT STARTED NORMALLY. AS SOON AS SHE TOUCHED THE STEERING WHEEL, THE SHAKING RESUMED. SHE TURNED IT OFF. BY PUTTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, SOME PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO HELP HER WINCH THE STEERING WHEEL ENOUGH TO PUSH THE CAR INTO A SPACE WHERE IT STAYED UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. SOME BYSTANDERS ?!@#$%. *TR
