Description of the problem | While driving, the steering will shut off suddenly after a small "click" sound and the power steering is suddenly gone. The battery symbol will light up randomly. All of the electric components will fail when the steering does, including the entire dash, heat/ac, radio, heated seats. It has happened when the vehicle is in motion on city streets multiple times. Sometimes the car works perfectly, other times the power steering refuses to reengage for a while. It has happened while driving forward and reversing. It doesn't seem to matter what speed i'm going, if it decided to shut off it's just gone. |
