Description of the problem | i got onto highway 45 from 517. While switching lanes, my steering wheel felt like a child's toy. There was no steering whatsoever. I instinctively applied the brake. My truck was weaving from middle lane to the fast lane and finally i was in one lane when i came to a complete stop and placed it in park. At this point i am frantic because traffic is fast approaching. I'm looking for the hazard lights and pumping my brakes so the traffic can see brake lights. At this point i am very frantic, that i thought if the truck is going to get hit, im's jumping out. As i got out of the truck, there were two vehicles passing me up on the shoulder lane. I didn't get hit. After i exited the truck, i was finally able to dial for 911, my husband and daughter. While i was switching lanes, i felt like something had broken or disengaged and when i came to a stop and exited the truck i smelled smoke, but did not see any. |
