Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME JUST GETTING OFF HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH, WHEN I PARKED AT LOCAL GROCERY STORE NEAR MY HOME. PARKED IN STALL FINE BUT ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER I FOUND UPON ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OUT OF THE STALL, I COULD HARDLY TURN MY CAR TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE IT HOME HOPING IT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF THEN NOTICING POWERED STEERING LIGHT ON DASH. ON ARRIVAL TO MY HOME I PARKED BACKWARDS IN FEAR OF GETTING STUCK. I THEN TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO TURN ON AND OFF THE CAR WITH NO CHANGE IN STEERING OR DASHBOARD LIGHT. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED LITERALLY A MILE OFF THE HIGHWAY WHICH I COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS AND NO CONTROL TO DRIVE THE AUTOMOBILE.
