Consumer Description

THE STEERING WHEEL WILL GET HARD TO TURN USUALLY WHEN I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE AND ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES AN ALARM WILL COME ON AND A LIGHT WILL COME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN GO OFF. HERE LATELY THE ALARM IS NOT COMING ON. IT IS GETTING WERE IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, AT LEAST A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK NOW. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS DONE ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT IS SCARY BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF I CAN TRUST MY CAR WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE.
