Consumer Description

EVERY TIME I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD START TO SHAKE. THEN FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON A STOP LIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE. TWO DAYS AGO AS I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME SUPER HARD TO MOVE. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND ONCE I TURNED IT ON THE STEERING WHEEL FELT FINE AGAIN. THIS MORNING AS I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO DRIVE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD AND UNMOVEABLE. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.
