Description of the problem | I was driving down the freeway with my son in the car and preparing to exit when the steering failed. I was unable to move the steering wheel more than an inch in either direction. With my hazard lights on i was able to pull over. There were several failure messages, the two most prominent being power steering assist and advance trac error. This could have been very dangerous. The car has now been at the dealership for three weeks. They are unable to get the part and have no timeline on when it will be available. |
