Consumer Description

TODAY, MAY 31, 2014, I WAS DRIVING AND SMELT A HARSH SMOKE FROM MY CAR. UPON PULLING OVER, AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, ONCE STARTED AGAIN THE CAR'S STEERING WHEEL WOULD NO LONGER TURN (IT LOCKED UP). ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I GOT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REPLACED. BETWEEN THAT TIME AND NOW, LIGHTS DIM ON AND OFF, AT ONE POINT LIGHTS WERE FLASHING, THE GAS PEDAL BEGAN TO SCREECH SLIGHTLY AS OF YESTERDAY, AND I CAN'T LEAVE ITEMS PLUGGED INTO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER OF THE CAR OVERNIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR WILL DIE. NO LONGER FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR
