Consumer Description

ON JULY 7, 2019 I WENT OUT STARTED MY CAR AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN MY WHEEL TO GET OUT MY PARKING SPACE THE WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN IT WAS LOCKED THEN THE DASH DISPLAYED A MESSAGE SAYING CHECK POWER SYSTEM STEERING. THE NEXT DAY, WHICH WAS MONDAY I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP, THE TOW DRIVER HAD A VERY HARD TIME TRYING TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE DUE TO THE WHEELS LOCKING UP, YET BY THE TIME MY CAR ARRIVED AT THE SHOP THE STEERING WAS BACK. I NOW HAVE A CAR I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE, CAN'T IMAGINE DRIVING AND LOSING THE POWER TO STEER.
