Consumer Description

THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS TO RIGHT BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING SLOW. I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHILE REAL TIGHT AND FIRM TO STOP IT FROM TURNING RIGHT. ON AUG 26 2017 AT 5PM, I WAS READY TO MAKE A SLIGHT RIGHT TURN, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL TOOK CONTROL OVER ME, THE CAR TURNED RIGHT BY ITSELF BEFORE I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC, THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED TOWARDS RIGHT, I HAD PUT STRENGTH AND HOLD FIRM AND STRONG WITH MY HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL TO STOP IT FROM TURNING RIGHT BY ITSELF. WHILE DRIVING FAST, I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE TOWARDS RIGHT AND HEARD VIBRATING SOUND...IT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING IF THE STEER WHEEL IS OUT OF CONTROL.
