Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA WITH VERY FEW SHOULDERS THE CAR STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A SHORT SHOULDER AREA AND CALLED THE AUTO CLUB FOR A TOW. THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED WITH THE HIGHWAY PATROL. SHE HAD TO WAIT IN A VERY DANGEROUS LOCATION WITH MANY HIGH SPEED HEAVY TRUCKS PASSING A FEW INCHES AWAY. OUR MECHANIC SAID THAT THE BELT TENSIONER FAILED CAUSING THE BELT TO FAIL THEN THE POWER STEERING AND ENGINE COOLING TO FAIL. *TR
