Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED PREVENTING THE STEERING WHEEL FROM TURNING AND UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS NOT A CASE OF THE POWER STEERING FAILING AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER. THE STEERING COULD NOT BE TURNED AND I COULD FEEL THE POWER STEERING PREVENTING ME FROM TURNING THE WHEEL. THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT, AT SLOW SPEED, WHERE I COULD PULL OVER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THE CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY.*AK
