Consumer Description

THIS HAPPENED LITERALLY AT THE END OF A 7 HOUR CAR TRIP- WE GOT LUCKY. DRIVING ON I-75 SOUTH AND APPROACHING EXIT. BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AND ENTER EXIT RAMP. STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING PROFUSELY AND IMMEDIATELY BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD TO MOVE TO EITHER SIDE. PANICKING, I MANAGED TO CONTROL THE CAR AND SLOW IT DOWN TO A VERY SLOW SPEED AND PUT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON, AND SLOWLY MERGE INTO A GAS STATION THAT WAS, LUCKILY, RIGHT NEXT TO THE EXIT RAMP. THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY, UNEXPECTED, AND COULD HAVE KILLED US IF WE WERE GOING THE FULL HIGHWAY SPEED AND WERE NOT EXITING ON A RAMP. *TR
