Consumer Description

THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES STIFF WHILE IN MOTION AND A WARNING YELLOW STEERING LIGHT TURNS ON ON DASHBOARD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. WE EVEN HAD IT CHECKED WITH A MECHANIC WHO COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE CAR COOLS DOWN, THE STEERING STARTS WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, SINCE WHILE DRIVING, THE WHEEL BECOMES INOPERATIVE, THEREFORE, MAY CAUSE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT.
