Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO A PARKWAY.HALFWAY THROUGH THE CURVE,MY STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. I HIT MY BRAKES AS THE VEHICLE JUMPED THE CURB. I JUST MISSED HITTING A TREE. I CALLED A FRIEND TO SEE IF I LOST A BELT OR SOMETHING. WHEN HE STARTED THE CAR,THE STEERING WORKED. HE DECIDED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SHOP FOR ME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. THE MECHANIC AT THE SHOP TOLD ME I WOULD NEED A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP. HE SAID THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY MINI COOPERS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS GOTTEN KILLED BY THIS YET,BUT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE IT HAPPENS. *TR
