Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST YEAR I LOST USE OF MY STEERING WHEEL. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS BACKING UP AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY STEERING. I DID NOT REPORT IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A WARNING LIGHT. TODAY, SEPT. 3,2015 I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT OF THE SCHOOL (MAY 2 TO 5 MPH) WHEN I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL EITHER WAY, IT WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. AFTER A COPY OF MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. IT WAS VERY SCARY KNOWING I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. I NOTICED OLDER VEHICLES HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY HAD A RECALL. I BELIEVE THE 2009 AURA SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAME RECALL.
