Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I GOT A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOAD. IT SAID THAT THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING SYSTEM MAY NOT BE WORKING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, WITHIN 1 MIN, THE WHEEL LOCKED AGAIN. THANK GOD I HADNT GOTTEN ON THE FREEWAY. THERE COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AS THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING. I SLOWLY BROUGHT IT BACK HOME AS I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR TO UNLOCK WHEEL FOR 1 MIN. TO MAKE SOME TURNS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO THIS CAR THAT I BOUGHT LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD. I HAD JUST TAKEN IT IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FOR AN OIL CHECK AND INSPECTION.
