Description of the problem | When i turn left the steering wheel will lock almost every single time. I questioned the dealership as to how many times they have this problem with this car the guy told me they've seen this problem before. When i was making a left hand turn at 30mph the sterring wheel would not turn and the whole car skidded forward. I hope you will take some time to review this problem and compare it with other cars. I hope nhtsa makes dealerships report to nhtsa when a life threating problem like this one hapens. *ak |
