Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MPH GOING UPHILL. I DID NOT HAVE IT IN CRUISE CONTROL. IWAS PASSING A SEMI. SUDDENLY THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT, AND THE BRAKES SEEMED HARD TO PUSH. I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED. I PUT IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO CHECK AND SEE IF ONE OF THE TIRES HAD BLOWN OUT, I LEFT IT RUNNING. THE TIRES WERE FINE. I GOT BACK IN AND PUT IT IN GEAR AND EASED DOWN ON THE GAS TO SEE HOW IT WAS GOING TO GO. IT DID FINE, I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE DAY AND IT SEEMED TO BE NORMAL. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD BE CONNECTED TO THE IGNITION RECALL BACK IN 2014 AND WORRY THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. MY HUSBAND IS ATTEMPTING TO GET IT LOOKED AT BY MECHANIC.
