What owners wrote
On july 17th 2019. I was gaining speed on an entrance ramp to highway 95n in stafford, va. As I approached 60 MPH the suv's steering wheel locked up on me and I couldn't turn the wheel. I tried the brakes and the brakes wouldn't work they were hard and would not push down. I let it slow itself down and made it to the side of 95n. I then put the SUV in park with hazards on. I exited the SUV to check for any damage and or indications of what caused the svu to lock up while driving.
I have had 3 incidents, with the latest on 12/23 when during a rapid breaking to avoid collision as a vehicle did illegal lane change in front of me, my wallet, which I had on top of the middle compartment, pushed the clutch and changed the gear to reverse and my car went backwards almost colliding with a vehicle behind me.
