ON NOVEMBER 4TH, 2009, I WAS PULLING INTO PARKING POSITION WITH MY WHEEL TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN THE PARKING SPACE NEXT TO ME. AS THE TURNING CONTINUED I HEARD A LOT POP SOUND AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS SOUND WAS LOSS OF WHEEL CONTROL. I HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKES BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAD STARTED TOWARDS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHICH IS THE CAR PARKED NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT I WAS TRYING TO PARK INTO. OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE STEERING COLUMN OR SHAFT. THANKFULLY, I WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE I ENDED UP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
