Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Received a "steering assist fault" notification while mid-turn traveling at approximately 30 mph. It felt as if i'd hit a slippery spot in the road or had hit a small bump on the front drivers side. While straightening out of the turn, i noticed a significant change in steering feel, and steering in general became very difficult. There was no gradual decline in steering performance, just a sudden failure. I can only be thankful that i was not traveling at a higher rate of speed. I checked the error codes later and noted the following: u3000-49 (control module: internal electronic failure), u3000-53 (control module: deactivated), u3000-4b (control module: over temperature). |
