Consumer Description

WIFE WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM HOUSE, HEARD SCREACHING SOUND, THEN LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING NEARLY ENDING UP ON SIDEWALK. WHEN I CHECKED UNDER HOOD, I SAW A BOLT SITTING ON LOWER PART OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT, CRANKSHAFT PULLEY NOT MOVING, BUT BOLT THAT HOLDS IT ON SPINNING. NONE OF THE BELTS WERE MOVING. MOST OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ALSO LIT UP. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT INVOLVING THIS ISSUE.
