I WAS SCARED TO DEATH TO NO I HAD KNOW CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN. MY CONSEQUENCES WERE NONE OTHER THAN THE SCARE OF MY LIFE AND THE REALIZATION THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL HAD I BEEN GOING FASTER OR ON A HIGHWAY OR ANY OTHER ROAD THAN A SUBDIVISION ROAD. THIS SITUATION OCCURRED DUE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP,WHICH HAS A HYDRAULIC VACUUM BOOSTER FOR THE BRAKES AND ALL WORKS TOGETHER .
