Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING 60MPH DOWN MAIN HIGHWAY WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE RPMS WENT REALLY HIGH AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, TURNED THE CAR OF AND BACK ON STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND WAS HARD TO STEER. STARTED GOING UP A SMALL HILL TO TRY AND GET IT OF MAIN ROAD AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HILL. THESE CARS ARE NOTHING BUT A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!
