| Description of the problem | While i was driving, my steering started locking on me. I was going thru mountain driving and as i try to get control on situation it started to become much harder to control. To avoid any unpleasant incident i decided to move over in right lane and slow down significantly to keep control on the car. Once the mountain driving was over i tried to find reliable shop to get this issue fixed as this was getting worst. We were fortunate to come out without injury but next family facing this issue might not be. I did research regarding this issue on internet and it appears that many more consumer has experience similar problem with same model. I would like to request a proper investigation for consumer safety. Thank you |
