Consumer Description

STEERING HAS BECOME UNRELIABLE AND HAS "GONE OUT" TWO TIMES IN THE PAST THREE DAYS. ONCE AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED AND ANOTHER AT A LOWER RATE OF SPEED. MY HUSBAND HAS HAD TO USE EXTREME EXCESSIVE FORCE (HE IS QUITE STRONG TOO) IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE CAR WHERE HE WANTS IT TO GO. THE LIGHT CAME ON AND HE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AND THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON THE DASHBOARD. TO ADD, THE CAR IS UP TO DATE ON ALL SERVICES NEEDED AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. *JS
