What owners wrote
While driving on the ne extension on my way to my sisters house, my steering wheel began to shaky and pull to the left. I grabbed hold of the steering wheel to try to put us back in the lane but it didn't want to go. Eventually I was able to jerk the steering wheel to the right and we then spun out into two 360 degree turns before landing in a ditch on the side of the road.
I was driving on florida's turnpike nb at 70 MPH when suddenly, my steering wheel felt disconnected from the tires. The car started to fishtail, and I was unable to brake. The mechanical issue was later identified as failed a tie rod.
