Description of the problem | This is the 2nd time this has happened. Once in 2018 approx feb. The steering lost all electric assist. This always appeared after it was driven and had been parked. It did this about 4 times before the dealer would repair it. At that time everything was covered by warranty. This time, the same problem, loss of all steering assist after driving and it was parked. Same issue, this time they tell me the steering gear box needs to be replaced at a cost of over $2000. 00. Exactly the same issue the 2015 was having. I have read the complaints and i fear this will happen at highway speed. We live in an extreme cold climate at times and both instances my vehicle was parked after driving in -20f weather. |
