| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle steering binds up whilst entering a turn. The effect is scary and alarming, imagine driving and the road makes a turn, you start to apply pressure to the steering wheel to navigate the turn, but rather than executing a nice smooth turn, the steering is unresponsive. In fact the steering wheel feels like it is locked and will not move causing extreme stress, anxiety, and the fear that you will be in an accident. This has happened to me 6 or more times. It has happened whilst turning left and turning right. Usually occurs while driving at freeway speeds. |
