Description of the problem	On my way to work i took the same route that i always take. I was going about 25mph and all of a sudden all of the lights came on ( check oil, battery, emergency brake, tire pressure, airbag, and check engine) the steering wheel completely locked up causing my car to swerve right into a community mail box. My windshield is broken, the front passenger side is off and the two passenger side tires are both flat. When i got my car in march of this year three days after i got it it had started doing this i took it back and it was in the shop for more than 3 months. When they had told me this problem was fixed i trusted that they were right but unfortunately it led me to this... The dealership has not returned my phone call and my insurance does not cover for a rental car. I have 2 children and my job does not pay me enough to just pay and get a new car or pay and have this car fixed. I am very unhappy with the responses about this car. Why would these cars be sold to people.
