Description of the problem | The power steering system failure light appeared and no ability to steer the vehicle what so ever since it is electric power steering. My daughter almost crashed into another car while going straight. Was lucky enough to be able to pull into a parking lot. Absolutely no ability to turn the wheel with out breaking it off the steering column. Also had temporary failure when the wintewr temps went well below freezing bur eventually the steering would come back online once the car warmed up (up to 45 minutes). Very dangerous!!! |
