Description of the problem | I purchased a used 2015 toyota corolla with about 27,085miles, in june 2016. Three months later, the steering wheel locked while driving down the street. I could not turn the wheel and the brakes would not work. By having no control of the car, it crashed into a parked vehicle. There was minor damage to the parked vehicle. The corolla had major damage because all the air bags were deployed. This occured three blocks from home, on a city street. No speeding was involved and no citations were issued by the police |
