Description of the problem | I was driving on the interstate, and had noticed my steering wheel was kind of tight, and making little adjustments didn't feel normal. I was traveling at 70 mph, and the car couldn't make a small curve, i had to swerve into the next lane, almost hit the concrete wall. My warning light came on steering assist fault service immediately . I pulled off the interstate as i did there was a horrible gridding sound at any little turn of the wheel. The steering became completely useless, the car was drifting into oncoming traffic and wouldn't turn at all. I parked the car and turned it off, when i turned it backed on the error has changed to complete system failure, and the steering wheel will not move at all. |
