When i get into my car the steering wheel is locked and i can't get it unlocked unless i turn on and off my caution lights or move the button back and forth on the console that has an a on one end and a m on the other. As soon as i get out of the car it locks and won't move unless i do that and i haven't figured out why this is happening. It just started within the last week. I need to know if this will cause me to have an accident and if i need to let the car sit until i get it fixed? *tr

I was driving to work and was passing a truck in front of me and heard a loud pop. I thought my windshield had been hit by something until i saw that there was no damage, so i kept driving. My car began to overheat so i slowed down. When i got to work i looked at my car and saw that the hood had an almost hole in it so i looked under the hood and found my belts gone and damage to the underside of the hood and lining. A fellow employee looked at it for me and we discovered that my fan had been obliterated and a great deal of damage had been done to my car. I called and had a tow truck to pick it up after calling my insurance company and was told i couldn't file a claim as there was no accident that happened with the car. I later had it fixed at a place called terry's car care center that cost me close to $1300 to fix. *tr

Radiator fan exploded while driving on freeway. Pieces of fan flew throughout engine bay (hood dented upwards 2 inches) broken pieces of fan lodged under throttle mechanism - wedged throttle wide open. Car continued to accellerate even under full braking (to limit of my strength). Had to shut engine off and steer off freeway without power steering or brakes.

The engine collapsed without warning. The dealer diagnosed the problem as broke piston, which caused the engine rod and cylinder to fail. *jb
