Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR IS INCREDIBLY BAD. IF I START MY CAR, I CANNOT TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL, IT NEEDS A LARGE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO TURN. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT UP AGAIN, ITS GOOD AS NEW...UNTIL I START DRIVING. IF I AM DRIVING TO A PLACE THAT TAKES 25 MINUTES, IT WILL LOCK UP ATLEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES. THIS MORNING WHILE TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, IT LOCKED UP AND EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OVER AND START IT UP AGAIN, IT STAYED LOCKED.
