| Started my vehicle so could move it in front of my garage. when i tried to turn the steering wheel wouldn't move and i had very limited braking power. it took an exceptional amount of pressure on the brake pedal just to stop the vehicle at a very low speed. thankfully no one was hurt and no property damage occurred. *tr | |||
