Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. IT SEEMS TO BE PRIMARILY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. SOMETIMES IT'S COMPLETELY LOCKED AND SOMETIMES IT IS JUST VERY HARD TO TURN. FROM RESEARCH I HAVE DONE I BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE STEERING SHAFT CAUSING THE ISSUE. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING.
