Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET I CAME TO A STOP. AS I BEGAN TO GO I TRIED TO TURN RIGHT AND I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL IT WAS SO HARD. REMINDED ME OF MY FIRST CAR I HAD WHEN I HAD A LEAK WITH MY STEERING FLUID. SO AT THAT POINT I TRY TO BRAKE AND MY BRAKES FAILED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED I BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF WAS TO PUSH DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD AND SLAMMED IT INTO PARK. WHILE ALL THIS WAS GOING ON NOT ONE SINGLE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OR BRAKE LIGHT NOTHING. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND IT WAS AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. LUCKILY IT WAS ON A VERY QUITE AND NON-BUSY STREET AND MY KIDS WEREN'T WITH ME.
