Consumer Description
THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I WAS HEADED SOUTH DOWN A CITY STREET CAME UP TO MY RIGHT TURN ONTO ANOTHER CITY STREET. AFTER I MADE THE TURN WHEN I TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL OUT THE RIGHT ONE CUT STRAIGHT TO THE RIGHT I WAS FIGHTING THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IT WOULD NOT LET ME TURN IT. THIS CAUSED MY CAR TO TURN INTO A PARKED CAR THAT WAS ON A PARKING LOT FOR SALE AND IT ENDED UP DAMAGING 3 CARS PLUS MINE TOTAL. I DID NOT RECEIVE A TICKET BECAUSE THE OFFICER STATED THAT IT WAS A MALFUNCTION ON THE CAR'S STEERING. I JUST KNOW THAT SOMETHING CAUSED THE TIRE TO TURN AND I COULD NOT TURN IT BACK. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE CAUSE IT WAS SCARY SCARY. THANK YOU,
