Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE TRUCKS STEERING WHEEL PROCEEDED TO TURN LEFT WHEN IT ABRUPTLY STOPPED MOVING. LUCKILY I WAS MOVING AT A SLOW ENOUGH SPEED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND ROLL INTO THE PARKING LOTS CURB. I THEN PROCEEDED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, AND WITH ALL MY MIGHT I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT UNTIL IT MADE A CLUNKING SOUND AND FREED UP. I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME A SHORT DISTANCE AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A HARD TIME TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. *TR
