Consumer Description

I APPLY BRAKES, ONE FRONT BRAKE LOCKS AND STEERING PULLS VERY HARD TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, SO HARD THAT IT WILL ALMOST PULL THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HAND. THE STEERING ALSO LOCKS AND I CAN NOT STEER THE AUTOMOBILE. I HAVE TO RELEASE THE BRAKES TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND RELEASE THE LOCKED BRAKE. *AK
