Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT SPEED LIMIT FROM I 75 TO ROCHESTER ROAD AT 7:50 AM. ALL OF SUDDEN, I FELT STEERING GOT VERY HARD TO TURN AND STUCK AT POINTING TO RIGHT, I TRIED MY BEST TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT NO SUCCESS, CAR SPAN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE DITCH, BACK OF THE CAR ENDED UP ON AN ELECTRIC POLE. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. NO OTHER CARS HURT. SOMEONE CALLED 911. I FELT OK AT THE MOMENT. 2 HOURS LATER FELT DIZZY. BASED ON HOW ODD THE STEERING FELT, I THINK I HAD EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN POWER STEERING LOSS. LUCKILY THE CAR DID NOT HIT THE POLE FIRST, OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE DIED. *TR
