STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. IT CANNOT BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT AS IT WILL CAUSE THE ENTIRE CARE TO SWERVE. WHEN REVERSING THE CAR TURNS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHERE YOU ARE TURNING. I'M BACKING INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL THE STEERING WHEEL AS IF THERE IS A POWER STEERING ISSUE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DAY AFTER PURCHASE INDICATING I NEED CATALYST CONVERTER AND SENSOR. NO WAY TO PREDICT WHICH WAY THE CAR WILL TURN. IF I HIT A BUMP THE CAR SWERVES TO THE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO NEXT LANE. IN MOTION I AM CONSTANTLY SWERVING INTO DANGER.
