Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN MY STEERING WENT OUT IN THE CAR. I COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE AT ALL AND COULD ONLY PROCEED STRAIGHT. I CAME REALLY CLOSE TO A HEAD ON COLLISION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND STOP THE CAR AND WAIT FOR HELP. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT RANDOMLY DOES THIS WITH THE STEERING. OUR MECHANIC STATES THAT IT IS THE ELECTRICAL STEERING THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED IN THE CAR WHICH IS $2,000 +/-. I RESEARCHED AND DO NOT FIND ANY RECALLS CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL STEERING.
