2013 Toyota Camry

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE EITHER ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY OR TURNING THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. NOTHING WORKS, CAR WONT START , KEY WILL NOT MOVE, GEAR IS STUCK. THIS HAS HAPPEN THREE TIMES WITHIN A YEAR. THE DEALER HAS CHECK IT OUT BUT HAS NO ANSWER TO WHY IT HAPPENS. MY AIR-CONDITION FOGS UP THE WINDOW, AS SO DOES THE HEATER MAKING THE VISIBILITY DIFFICULT. THERE WAS ALSO A STRONG ODOR OF GAS WHEN YOU MAKE A TURN. ALL MY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BUT NOTHING DONE. MY FEAR IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WILL BE CAUSE BECAUSE OF THIS.

I PURCHASED BRAND NEW CAR FROM DARCARS LOCATED AT 12210 CHERRY HILL RD, SILVER SPRING, MD 20904 ON MAY 27TH, 2013. FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE APPROXIMATELY LESS THAN 4,780 MILEAGES; I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY STEERING. DURING THIS INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING ON I95-N NEAR EXIT 43 OF MARYLAND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION SUDDENLY THE STEERING WAS LOCKED AND THE STEERING WARNING SIGN WITH THE BEEP NOISE FOR A SECOND CAME ON. I PANICKED I COULDN'T NOT TURN THE STEERING AT ALL. LUCKILY, I TRIED VERY HARD AND WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE STEERING TO TURN A FRACTION OF A DEGREE ANGLE WHERE I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE. AT THAT POINT I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE STEERING WAS UNLOCKED. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS ON 07/15/2013 BUT, TO DATE, THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ATTACHED ARE COPIES OF THE REPAIR ORDERS THAT DOCUMENT THE DEALERSHIP'S ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR MY CAR.
