Consumer Description

I RENTED THIS VEHICLE FROM BUDGET RENTAL CARS AND WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 435 GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR. I HEARD AND FELT A "POP" AND MY POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS WITHIN .1 MILES OF AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE WRESTLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SAFELY STOP. I AM NOT SURE IF A WOMEN LIKE MY WIFE WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR IF SHE WERE THE DRIVER. AFTER I STOPPED AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE PS LIGHT (THAT LIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT) TURNED OFF AND POWER STEERING RETURNED. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND AWAITING A RENTAL EXCHANGE. VERY UNSAFE SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
