Consumer Description

MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING, EITHER WHEN I'M MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO TURN OR WHEN I FIRST TURN ON THE CAR AND GO IN REVERSE AND TURN THE WHEEL AND IT LOCKS UP CAUSING THE INABILITY TO STEER THE CAR. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, BUT THE MOST RECENT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AS FAR BACK AS 2009. IT COMES AND GOES. I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND PAID $1,800 TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN IN MARCH 2014 AND IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNFORTUNATELY I WILL HAVE TO GET ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE. *JS
