Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 2 POWER STEERING FAILURES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES WERE AT LOW SPEED. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL IT HAPPENS AT HIGH-SPEED. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND MY WIFE IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT TOOK ALL I HAD JUST TO GET IT BACK IN THE CARPORT. THERE IS NO WAY MY WIFE COULD CONTROL IT IF IT LOCKED ON HER .I AM AWARE OF HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS STEERING DEFECT ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED, IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY.
