Consumer Description

AFTER TAKING THE CAR OUT FROM A STOP SIGN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE GEAR ON PARK ONCE THE CAR STALLED AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION. I THEN TURNED ON THE IGNITION AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. ONCE I REACHED MY DESTINATION I TURNED OFF AND ON THE IGNITION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON TAKING TO THE MECHANIC THEY FOUND OUT THE CAM SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED.
