Consumer Description

I OWN A 2008, MAZDA 3. IT HAS ABOUT 34,000 MILES. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON ROUTE 75 JUST OUTSIDE OF CINCINNATI WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC WERE DIRECTED OFF AN EXIT BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT CLOSING THE HIGHWAY..THIS WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT WITH NO POWER STEERING. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED OFF MY CAR, PREPARING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN THE STEERING WORKED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I COMMUTE AN HOUR TO WORK EVERYDAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. *TR
