I MADE A LEFT HAND 90 DEGREE TURN AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED. UPON TURNING THE WHEEL BACK, THE STEERING LOCKED. TO AVOID HITTING A PARKED CAR TO THE LEFT, I FORCED THE STEERING OVER FORCEFULLY. IT FELT AS IF THE STEERING SHAFT WAS BLOCKED BY SOMETHING. I PULLED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY OVER TO A PARKING SPOT ON MY RIGHT. IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WAS SUDDENLY NORMAL, THEN VERY DIFFICULT, NORMAL, THEN DIFFICULT, AS IF IT WERE BEING INTERMITTENTLY HIT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND THE LEFT HEADER HEAT SHIELD, OPPOSITE OF THE STEERING SHAFT, SEPARATED FROM ITS NORMAL POSITION AND WAS LODGED BETWEEN THE STEERING SHAFT AND THE HEADER. THE HEAT SHIELD WAS HEAVILY CORRODED. I TOOK A PHOTO OF IT IN ITS LODGED POSITION. I THEN REMOVED THE HEAT SHIELD AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT TURNED FREELY AND NORMALLY. DUE TO MY LOCATION, I HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE (WHICH APPEARED DRIVE-ABLE) FOR ANOTHER HOUR TO MY HOUSE.THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED BY THE RECALL INVOLVING THE STEERING SHAFT REPLACEMENT, AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR MANY MONTHS SINCE THEN. THE STEERING SHAFT IMPACTED THE HEAT SHIELD MULTIPLE TIMES, COLLAPSING PART OF THE HEAT SHIELD AND LEAVING SURFACE MARKS ON THE STEERING SHAFT. THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE STEERING SYSTEM AND/OR SHAFT, APART FROM THE FACT THAT THE HEAT SHIELD IS NOW ABSENT, POTENTIALLY FURTHER DAMAGING OTHER COMPONENTS.
