“Hyundai Genesis sedan 4.6; when the car is cold such as in december in northeast, the steering wheel is very difficult to turn.

After the collision, I pressed very hard on the brake pedal to stop, but it kept moving, even increased its speed up to 60 MPH, and turned into the different direction. Also the wheel was stuck by itself and I was not able to turn anywhere with my hands. It went off the opposite side of the road without any control. 20 years old toyota camry was able to stop at the spot of collision, but Hyundai Genesis couldn't. …”
