Consumer Description

ON 5/11/10 MY 2008 DODGE NITRO CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POLE IN A PARKING LOT SERVICE LANE. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. IT CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN I TURNED TO GET OUT OF THE SERVICE LANE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE. AS A RESULT OF MY NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IT CRASHED CAUSING SEVERE INJURIES TO ME . *TR
