Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A CITY STREET AND THE RED LIGHT CAME ON. " STEERING DEFECTIVE! DO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE!" AT THAT MOMENT THE STEERING WAS DISABLED. IT WAS VERY HARD TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THANK GOD I WAS ON A LOW SPEED LIMIT STREET. I GOT VERY SCARED AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT.
