Consumer Description

TRIED TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY BUT WAS UNABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND THEN NOTICE THE MESSAGE. TRYING TO PULL CAR BACK INTO DRIVEWAY IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AS WELL. I JUST GRATEFUL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO AND FROM CHURCH WITH NO PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT TO IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. DRIVERS ARE SO MUCH IN A RUSH.
