Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH AND WHEN I WENT INTO A CURVE THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AND I ALMOST RAN INTO THE DITCH AND HIT A MAIL BOX. LUCKILY, I MISSED BOTH OF THEM BUT PULLED A MUSCLE IN MY SHOULDER TRYING TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND MY 3 POINT TURN TURNED INTO A 8 POINT TURN. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS ON THE SCREEN FLASHING. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AND THE COMPANY IS SUED, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I'M SEEING THIS REPORTED QUITE OFTEN. *TR
