Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HEAVY AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN IT TO ANY DIRECTION. THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS TRAVELING AT VERY SLOW SPEED (20 MILES/H) ON A VERY CALM STREET. SO I COULD MANAGE TO STOP ON THE SHOULDER. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER SOME SECONDS I TURN ON THE ENGINE AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN. THE FACT IS THAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY CERTAINLY THE OUTCOME WOULD BE AN SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
