RAV4

  • 78,000 miles
The power steering light came on then the steering wheel locked I jerked it to the right to get it to pull off the road. I was driving on a city street going up hill when the car finally disabled, the mechanic told me he found nothing wrong when he put it on the diagnostic I don't feel safe driving the car with my child I've paid $140 for and inspection now I'm taking it to the sf Toyota mechanic.
