Description of the problem | I was sitting at a stoplight to turn left. After the light turned green i applied pressure to the gas pedal and noticed a slight loss of power. As i proceeded through the turn i had difficulty turning as though i had no power steering. Once through the turn i still has no power steering and noted a message on the dash reading "service steering". I controlled the car to the next stoplight which was approximately 1/2 mile during which time i still had no power steering. At the stop light i turned the car off, and started it again. After restarting the car i had no more problems with the steering. Prior to this instance and multiple times following i have had issues with the electrical system failing. It usually begins with the radio board "blinking" off. By blinking i mean that the radio completely shuts off and the radio dash lights blink off and on until it finally returns to full power. But usually its not a one time thing. There are times where this occurs every 5 seconds until i'm able to pull the car over and turn it off. While this occurs i will get a message on my dash cluster saying to "service stabilitrac" along with several other cluster lights that blink. I have taken this car to the dealership where it was purchased and they have not been able to reproduce what i've experienced, and such they have not been able to fix anything. This first began while the car was under bumper to bumper warranty, but that has since passed and if they were able to actually fix anything i would be stuck with the bill. *tt |
