Consumer Description

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THE POWER TO THE CAR WAS ON BUT THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND WILL NOT RELEASE IT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN DECLARED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP PUT ME IN A RENTAL CAR AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM SINCE. NO ONE WILL RETURN MY CALLS OR ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. *TR
