| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Approximately three weeks ago, after making a left turn, i noticed the steering wheel became difficult to turn. the problem would disappear after backing up. and was not always consistent. i brought it into my garage who checked the belts and fluid. they reported everything was fine. yesterday (2/22) leaving work i was making a left turn out of the parking lot into the exit lane, and lost all steering ability. another employee stopped to see if i needed help. when i told him i lost the steering again and asked if he could look. when i opened my door to get out, from his height he could see something sticking out underneath the clutch area. he reached down and saw that a chunk of the cloth mat had been sucked up into the steering column at the base of the floor and was wrapped freezing the steering. it took him a while, but he was eventually able to free it. almost the entire, heavy cloth mat was a giant ball wrapped by the column. i was lucky that it happened on the company campus only moving a few miles an hour, and not up on interstate 78 i travel everyday at 55 miles an hour when the steering completely froze. *jb |
