Tthe steering wheel locked up on neice causeing her to go towards the right side, and back tires locked up and caused her to spin.. Eventually getting hit from behind by another driver! It could have killed her, she couldnt do a thing with the steering wheel at all it needs to be recalled asap so others wont be hurt or worse killed. She was driving down the road to an appt.
