Consumer Description

WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, IT IS MAKING A NOISE LIKE SOMEONE IS USING AN AIR TOOL UNDER THE HOOD. I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL CATCH AND HANG UP SO YOU CAN NOT TURN ALL THE WAY. THIS ISSUE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT DID THAT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.
