Consumer Description

I had turned my car on after work and i had a light turn on my dashboard marking “PS” indicating there was an issue with the power steering. I turned off my car and turned it back on the light went away so i began driving home. As I was driving the same light turned on and the car shut off but was still going, I was unable to accelerate but i was able to brake. The steering wheel was locked and unable to be moved. Thankfully the roads were clear otherwise it would have been a terrible accident.
