Do you have infinite friction between the wheels and the ground?  Four 
contact points is an over constrained system, so the wheels need to be 
able to slip.  Try a mu of 1.

Do you have Ackerman steering?

Can you describe the problem in more detail?  "It just doesn't work" 
isn't very helpful.  I'm tempted to say "increase your stack size."
