The problem

The product poses a risk of accident and injury because increasing the strength required to turn the steering wheel increases the strength needed to control the direction of the vehicle, which may lead the driver to lose control of the car while it is moving. Since the permanent magnets are not properly attached to the power steering rotor, the engine gradually loses its torque when the steering wheel is turned full lock.
