Consumer Description

I WENT ON A 200 MILE TRIP YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY SPEED 60-80 MPH I FELT LIKE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS KINDA STICKY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO DO MINOR CORRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. AND WHEN I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT WAS LIKE FREE PLAY AND CAR WAS SWERVING LEFT OR RIGHT. I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME IT FELT LIKE I PUT HER LIFE IN DANGER. IT ONLY HAPPENED FOR FIRST TIME. USUALLY I DRIVE THIS CAR IN CITY WILL TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK. ALL IN ALL IT'S VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY ISSUE. I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CRASHES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.
