Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AROUND A HIGHWAY BEND IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT MOVE GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR. I'M A BIG GUY AND REALLY USED ALL MY FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND FINAL GOT TO BREAK FREE WITH A LOUD POP FROM THE STEERING COLUM AREA. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIME SINCE AND I NOW HAVE ONLY 20,000 MILES ON IT. I AM A SHOP OWNER AND ASE MASTER TECH, SO I KNOW WHAT I AM REPORTING THIS IS CRAZY DANGEROUS. *TR
