Description of the problem | The first incident was about 9months ago i was driving with my 3 year old on highway at about 65mph the car locked up steering the wheel. The car was moving all directions on three lanes and it was very hard for me to atempt to steer as the wheel was very tight. It finally went down to 0 mph and i pulled over thanking god i did not crash. The lights were flickering all over. Attempted to trade at a dealership regor dykes in texas bc i was scarred to drive it. They fixed it as a trade then got sued and returned it back to me and took my new car back. Then yesterday i left home to take all my kids to school 3. And got to 40 mph and it did it again luckily we were not on a highway. This time when it hit 0 mph it was still driveable but would not accelerate above 40. I'm scarred for my life in this car and there is nothing i can do about it. It is now parked and i dont know what to do. |
