The consumer did not have any accidents because once he let off the brake it was fine. The first time he took it to a dealership they did nothing to the vehicle. The second time they greased a bushing. The third time they told him it was to dangerous to drive ,and that they would have to wait for a part. Also, they told consumer that there was something broken in the steering area, but they will not tell him what it was. …”
