Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND MAKING A TURN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA THE STEERING WHEEL GOT STIFF AND FELT AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I WAS ABLE TO TURN BUT VERY SLOWLY AS IF THE CAR WERE IN NEUTRAL ALMOST FELT LIKE IDLING. I CHECKED MY STEERING FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS AT THE PROPER LEVEL SO I'M NOT TOO SURE WHAT IS GOING ON BUT I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS ISSUE AND FIND IT TO BE COMMON WITH THIS GENERATION OF HONDA CR-VS. I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC TO BE LOOKED AT IMMEDIATELY BUT FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE UNSAFE DRIVING THAN WHEN THAT HAPPENED IT WAS A VERY SCARY FEELING AND I AM THANKFUL THAT THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC WAS NOT FAST PACED OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE VERY LIKELY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.
