Consumer Description

HI I WAS LOOKING AT RECALLS FOR THE SOUL AFTER I SAW A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD AND ACTUALLY TYPED MY VIN IN AND SAW MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A STEERING ISSUE THAT COULD'VE LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND I WAS ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2017 IN MY 2014 KIA SOUL BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED WITH MY STEERING THAT CAUSED ME TO HIT SOMEONE? A WOMAN IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES AND WHEN I TRIED TO GET OVER IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE WHEEL HAD COMPLETELY LOCKED BUT UP BUT I COULD STILL TURN IT, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. THERE WAS A WEIRD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND SOMETIMES I STILL HESRIT OCCASIONALLY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
