Consumer Description

I WAS MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN, FROM A STOP, WHEN I HEARD A SNAPPING NOISE, THEN I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL TURNING FREELY, I JUST CONTINUED FORWARD WITH NO STEERING SINCE I WAS KIND OF CROSSED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND HAD CARS COMING AT ME AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, I WAS ABLE TO GO OVER ONTO THE SIDE WALK CROSSED, I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND WHEN I LOOKED SAW THE SHAFT AT THE STEERING BOX HAD SHEERED IN HALF. I AM A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND CONSIDER THIS A VERY DELICATE MATTER, HAVE I BEING TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED THIS COULD HAVE BEING A SITUATION WITH VERY TRAGIC RESULTS. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THANKS *TR
