Description of the problem | Hello, my car lost the ability to steer while driving at highway speeds and in a turn. It went out like a light bulb would. No warning. I was luckily as no traffic was coming when this happened and the arch of the curve was favorable for this situation. I noticed the warning light came on power steering assist fault. God forbid if i would have had my grandchildren with me and there was traffic!! This has been identified as an issue before with earlier models and a recall was issued but the issue still remains with the newer models as well. Someone will have a terrible accident soon with the possibility of loss of life. Please look into this as it is just a matter of time before something unfortunate happens. Thank you! :-) [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
