Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REAL TIGHT AND WAS VERY HARD TO MOVE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY YET AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE AND FIND A RIDE TO WORK. I THEN HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A CAR SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT GOING TO DO A FULL DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND GET BACK TO ME TOMORROW. AFTER SEEING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION.
