Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING UP THE HILL TOWARDS TACOMA JUST OFF THE BRIDGE. TRAFFIC STOPPED SUDDENLY AND I HAD TO LOCK MY BRAKES. WHEN I LOCKED THEM THE TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN EITHER WAY UNTIL I LET OFF THE BRAKE MORE. IT SEEMS WHEN THE TIRES ARE NOT MOVING VERY FAST THAT THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT WORK. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE A HARD TIME TURNING IN TO PARKING SPACES ALSO WHEN THE TRUCK IS NOT MOVING QUICKLY. THIS IS A VERY SCARY PROBLEM AS I DON'T BELIEVE I COULD STEER MYSELF OUT OF AN ACCIDENT WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED.*AK
