Consumer Description

NOTICED AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT WHEN EVER PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST ACCELERATING QUICKLY AT ALL THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT CAUSING THE WHEEL TO BE "STRAIGHTENED" BACK UP WHICH YANKS THE CAR REALLY HARD CAUSING FOR QUICK CORRECTION WHICH CAN LEAD TO OVER CORRECTION AND THEN A WRECK. VERY DANGEROUS IN THE RAIN OR SNOWY/ICY CONDITIONS SINCE IT YANKS THE WHEEL BACK STRAIGHT AND CAUSES THE CAR TO SLIDE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CAN HEAR AUDIBLE CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE COLUMN AND SOMETIMES EVEN THE WARNING DINGING THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILED. SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE EVENTUALLY IT WILL CAUSE WRECKS AND QUITE FRANKLY DEATHS! VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN THIS HAPPENS! AND APPARENTLY ITS NOT JUST MY CAR. *TR
