Consumer Description

I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOOSEN AND MOVE BACK INTO PLACE I HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND. THEN MY CAR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DROPPED TO THE GROUND DUE TO THE FRONT TIRE AXLE BRAKING WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE BACK OF A PARK VEHICLE. THE BRAKE OF THE AXLE APPEARED TO CLEAN AS THOUGH THE AXLE WAS NEVER APART OF MY CAR. THE INCIDENT SCARED ME A LOT AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED ON 3 YEAR OLD CAR AND I DID NOT HAVE ANY REAL WARNING SIGNS PRIOR TO THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AS I AM NOW WITHOUT MY CAR AND I HAVE TO FACE REPAIRING SOMEONE ELSE'S VEHICLE. *TR
