Consumer Description

STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP DURING A TURN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THEN LAST WEEK I COULDN'T SHIFT INTO REVERSE TO GET OUT OF DRIVEWAY. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. 1500.00 LATER I HAVE NEW SHIFTER AND SOME SORT OF NEW GEARS IN STEERING WHEEL. LOOKED IT UP AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WITH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, YET STILL NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 48000 MILES ON IT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THERE WEREN'T SOME SORT OF DEFECT IN MANUFACTURE.
