Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A LOCAL ROAD IN PENSACOLA, FL. THE POWER STEERING LOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL IN PLACE AND IT WAS VERY, VERY HARD TO MOVE. THE HILL ASSIST NEEDS SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND CAME TO A STOP NEAR THE SHOULDER AFTER PULLING HARD THE WHEEL. TURNED OFF THE CAR THEN RESTARTED. NO WARNING LIGHTS AND DROVE AS NORMAL TO MY HOUSE.
