Description of the problem | I was on the entrance ramp to the get on the highway and my steering locked up. I lost my power steering and the power steering assist fault light came on and the service advance trac warning also came on flashing back and forth between the two. This terrified me and thank goodness there wasn't much traffic and i was able to exit the highway and stop the car. The power steering came back on when the car was started. This is a very dangerous situation and i hope it is addressed immediately. *js |
