Consumer Description

AS I PULLED INTO THE CAR LOT WHERE I AM BUYING THE CAR I HEARD A KIND OF CLUNK BUT WAS UNSURE WHAT IT WAS. I WENT IN AND MADE MY CAR PAYMENT UPON STARTING MY CAR AND PUTTING IN REVERSE TO LEAVE MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN IN ANY DIRECTION. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF WENT BACK INTO THE CAR SALESMAN AND ASKED HIM IF HE COULD HELP FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON . HE JACKED THE CAR UP AND CHECKED TO SEE THE PROBLEM BUT WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING UNTIL HE REMOVED THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE . HERE HE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE RACK AND PINION HAD BROKE FREE FROM THE TIE ROD END AND WAS UNABLE TO GET BACK TOGETHER AS THE BOLTS THAT HELD THESE PARTS TOGETHER WERE STRIPPED COMPLETELY OUT AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX .. *TR
