Description of the problem | I bought my edge brand new in late july of 2016 and had not experienced any problems up until march of 2017 (one month ago). When the "adaptive steering fault. Service required!" light first started coming on, it was generally just seconds after starting my car, but always while i was turning the wheel. For the next couple of weeks, it was coming on an average of 2 to 3 times per week and it would turn off within five or so minutes of my drive. My service light has come on everyday now for the past five days without even having to turn my wheel. Once my car is started - the message pops up. And rather than turning off a few minutes or miles into my drive, it remains on for the entirety of the drive. I called today in hopes of getting it serviced but unfortunately cannot be fit in for an entire week. I left a voicemail with the service manager to ensure that my car was safe to drive until then but have not yet received a call back. Fingers crossed! |
