Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK ON FRIDAY NIGHT, 2/22, WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AND I HAD A HARD TIME TURNING IT. IT THEN STARTED WORKING FINE AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THEN IT LOCKED UP AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. SINCE IT WAS ON A HIGHWAY I WAS DOING OVER 60 M.P.H. IT WAS TERRIFYING NOT HAVING COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AT THAT SPEED. *TR
