Consumer Description

I HAD AN VERY OCCASIONAL INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT BASICALLY CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO. IT ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAPPEN ON A TURN. I TRIED TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT NO ONE SAW IT IN ACTION TO IDENTIFY IT. IT USUALLY HAPPENED ON A TURN AND QUICKLY RETURNED TO NORMAL. IT HAPPENED ON A ROAD WITH A SMALL BEND IN IT. IT DID NOT RESTART WORKING BEFORE I DROVE OFF THE ROAD INTO A FILBERT FIELD. I SUFFERED MULTIPLE CONCUSSIONS IN THE CRASH. I SAW A SPECIALIST DUE TO MY MEMORY LOSS AND HE SAID I LIKELY HAD 3 CONCUSSIONS: FRONT INTO STEERING WHEEL/AIR BAG; SIDE - BREAKING DRIVER WINDOW WITH HEAD; AND TOP SIDE DUE TO SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG. *TR
