Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AUTO PARK. DRIVING HOME AND GETTING ON THE BYPASS GOING APPX 65 MPH IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS SAYING IT IS LIKE DRIVING A CAR WITH NO POWER STEERING. I TOOK IT TO 3 PLACES AND ALL SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING AND COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT ON VACATION IN JUNE 2012 AND WILL NEVER DRIVE IT AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE... HE WILL NOT LET OUR SON DRIVE IT BECAUSE HE FEELS IT IS UNSAFE. I AM FINALLY SEEING OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT CAN BE DONE. IT HAS 90,000 MILES NOW. I HAVE 3 BOYS AND DRIVE A LOT. I NEED THIS FIXED. *TR
