Consumer Description

WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION & THE DASH STARTED TO BLINK. AS SOON AS IT BLINKED THE STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I AM NOT WEAK BY ANY MEANS & I COULD BARELY TURN. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH IF I WASN'T GOING UNDER 10MPH. THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE DOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE LOVE'S GAS STATION IN MEAD KANSAS AROUND 6:40PM ON MARCH 23RD 2021.
