Description of the problem | This is the second occurrence of the problem i am going to describe. What occurred today was a loss of power steering while taking a right turn off of a side street onto a cross street into traffic. It was extremely difficult to complete the turn, and caused a dangerous situation where i almost crossed the lane into oncoming traffic. Upon straightening the vehicle out i noticed a electronic stability control warning message, then as i continued to drive to look for a safe place to stop, a no power steering message came on stating to drive safely or something to that effect. After i found a location to park, i repeatedly turned the car off and on in hopes of re-setting the systems. This did not have any affect on the faults and the messages remained. I also noticed when i reversed the vehicle , the back up screen gave me a message that there are no projection lines. I slowly drove the vehicle home the rest of the way while "muscling" it around turns. Approximately thirty minutes after i had arrived home, i restarted my vehicle and all systems worked correctly with no warning messages displayed. I had mentioned this was the second time this has occurred, the first time was about three months prior to this incident. I thought that i had accidentally turned the electronic stability control off or something. This instance the vehicle reset after i turned it off and restarted it. To note is this vehicle is extremely well maintained and in very good condition. |
