Consumer Description

WHILE ON VACATION, OUT-OF-STATE, I STARTED THE ENGINE OF MY CAR. WHEN I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO GEAR, THE CAR STALLED. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT UNLOCK OR TURN. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR, WHICH TOOK THREE DAYS. MY WIFE AND I WERE STRANDED AND THE END OF OUR VACATION RUINED. DT REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS
