Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA COROLLA DURING THE DAY AND WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I JUST BARELY COULD TURN INTO THE PARKING SPACE I WAS TURNING INTO AND MY CAR WAS SIDEWAYS. MY CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH IT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WENT INTO THE PHARMACY. WHEN I CAME OUT AND WENT TO START MY CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO CALL AAA FOR A JUMP START AND EVEN AFTER THE JUMP START, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL LOCKED BUT THE CAR WAS RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME BECAUSE IT WAS A STRAIGHT RIDE HOME AND HALF WAY HOME THE STEERING WHEEL ALL OF A SUDDEN UNLOCKED ON IT'S OWN. NOW I'M SCARED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE I'M ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN ALOT OF TRAFFIC AND I'LL BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND KIILED OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE.
