Consumer Description

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON MY SON'S 2006 PONTIAC TORRENT. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2006. 2 MONTHS AGO WE SPENT $1500 IN THE HEAT AND AIR ISSUE. OK NO BIG DEAL. HAD TO DO IT. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD, I HAVE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP ON HIM AND HE CAN BE IN ANY SITUATION, MORNING TRAFFIC, QUIET ROAD, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NO WAY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. HE SLOWS DOWN, IN ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC WHICH LEADS TO GOD KNOWS WHAT KIND OF SITUATION. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED FOR HIM AT NO COST. STEERING WHEELS SHOULD NOT LOCK UP FOR NO REASON. I EXPECT TO HEAR BACK ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CAN FIX THE WEAR AND TEAR OF ANY VEHICLE BUT WHEN IT COMES TO LIFE THREATENING ISSUES, THERE HAS TO HAVE BEEN A CASE STUDY AND A SOLUTION FOUND AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. *TR
