Description of the problem | We have had a problem with losing the power steering for over two years. At first, i thought the car stalled and then regained the motor as the power steering came back on. This problems has happened to four members of my family and we never put it together until recently we had our local dealer inspect the system and was told " it couldn't happen " when i found nhtsa on line, i now believe that the dealer was not being honest. *ak |
