Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 BUICK ENCLAVE, I MADE A LEFT TURN INTO THE STOP AND SHOP SUPERMARKET ENTRANCE WHEN I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL BECOME VERY HARD TO TURN, SECONDS AFTER IT WENT BACK TO BEIN NORMAL. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE A YOUNG LADY WAS IN THE CROSS WALK. NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT I DON'T WANNA IT TO GET TO THAT EITHER.
