Consumer Description

THE STEERING ON THE CAR FAILED COMPLETELY. THERE WAS A POPPING/SNAPPING SOUND WHILE TURNING THE CAR, AND AFTERWARD I COULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT ANY RESISTANCE (MUCH LESS THAN USUAL) AND THE WHEELS DID NOT TURN AT ALL. A LITTLE EARLIER IN THE DRIVE I COULD FEEL THE STEERING ON THE CAR FEEL A LITTLE OFF: I HAD TO TURN THE WHEEL A LITTLE MORE TO GET THE WHEELS TO TURN AND SOMETHING JUST FELT LOOSE. I'M INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL THAT THE FINAL 'SNAP' OCCURRED WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT AND NOT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY/AT HIGHER SPEED. APPARENTLY FOX NEWS RAN AN ARTICLE ABOUT AN INCIDENT THAT DESCRIBES THE SAME ISSUE: HTTP://FXN.WS/1EZMQPY. *TR*DT AS OF APRIL 29,2015 CONSUMER STATED CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED.*JB
