Description of the problem | While driving heard pop noise. Car was not driving right and skid hazard light went on. As i was going very slowly on side roads, i got to a point where the steering wheel could turn back and forth but i could not change direction of car. Car was towed to a mechanic. Two mechanics with 30 years experience each said that they had never seen anything like this before. They removed and replaced steering gear assembly and steering column. This was a catastrophic failure an should never have happened! Lucky for me i was on back roads. |
