Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ON I-10 FOR AROUND AN HOUR WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL MADE A SLIGHT TURN TO THE RIGHT AND COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. THE ROAD WAS WET SO I DIDN'T WANT TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. I WAS TRYING AS HARD AS I COULD TO TRY AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BUT COULDN'T. I TAPPED THE BRAKES 2 TIMES AND THEN HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD OR I WOULD HAVE HIT OTHER VEHICLES. MY CAR STARTED SPINNING AND THEN CRASHED HEAD INTO THE GUARDRAIL. I HIT THE GUARD RAIL SO HARD IT RIPPED UP THE CONCRETE AND BOUNCED MY VEHICLE BACK INTO THE INTERSTATE. ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OVER AND WAS TRYING TO HELP ME GET MY CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE BUT NEITHER OF US COULD GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. IT WAS STILL LOCKED UP TURNED TO THE RIGHT. MY HUSBAND WAS A FEW VEHICLES BACK AND HE PULLED OVER AND WAS ALSO TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET MY VEHICLE OFF THE INTERSTATE. AFTER YANKING ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES AS HARD AS HE COULD, IT FINALLY MADE A BIG POP AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES WERE FREE SO WE COULD TURN THE WHEEL TO GET MY CAR ON SIDE THE ROAD.
