Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY OUTLOOK FOR ROUGHLY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO NOW, AND MY POWER STEERING SEEMS TO GO OUT WHEN GOING A LOW SPEED AND TURNING. IT HAS CAUSED ME 2 ACCIDENTS SO FAR WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER, INCREASING MY INSURANCE TO $460/MO. ONE WAS BACKING UP, IT STOPPED TURNING AND IT BACKED INTO A VEHICLE, AND THE OTHER WAS PARKING, IT STOPPED AND I SCRAPED AGAINST ANOTHER. I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE. I'M IN FLORIDA AND WE ARE ALLOWED TO TURN LEFT/RIGHT ON GREEN. GOD FORBID SOMEONE IS SPEEDING WHILE I'M DOING A U-TURN, BECAUSE THEY WOULD DEFINITELY SMACK INTO ME SINCE IT'S SO HARD TO TURN. I AM QUITE SURE I HAVE THE MUSCLES I DO FROM TRYING TO TURN MY VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS THE MOST PARKING, U TURNS (OR SLOW TURNS IN GENERAL), BACKING UP, AND 3 POINT TURNS.
