Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVED STREET, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON ME. I COULD NOT SWERVE AND TURN MY CAR TO FOLLOW THE CURVED STREET. I COULD NOT MOVE THE WHEEL AT ALL. MY CAR RAN INTO A TREE HEAD FIRST. ALL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND SMOKE APPEARED. MY ENTIRE CAR WAS TOTALED AND SMASHED IN THE FRONT. SCARIEST THING BECAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL. THANK GOD, MY 1 YEAR OLD SON WAS NOT IN THE BACKSEAT OR ELSE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FATALLY INJURED WITH THOSE AIRBAGS. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE. TOYOTA HAS HAD RECALLS IN THE PAST AND THIS COULD HAVE ENDED MY LIFE. *TR
