 Description of the problem05/25/14 while backing the vehicle out of my drive way i noticed the a thumping sound and a jerking from the vehicle which caused great alarm from me. I called the dealer and they told me to bring it in. When i took the vehicle in the kept it for about a day and told me that they could not find anything wrong with it and that the inspector said that the same thing was happening to a new vehicle, that the noise and jerking was just the way it was. They called it a hard shift. My car is not a daily driven vehicle being i have two other cars that i primarily use. At the time of the incident my car had aprox. 303 miles on it. Now several months later on 01/01/15 when i went to start my vehicle i noticed the same problem, and being that i had already taken it once to the dealer and them telling me nothing was wrong with it, i had no second thought of taking it out on the road. I proceeded to drive down my residential street and realized i had forgot something at home. So on the residential intersection i started to make a u turn when all of a sudden steering cut out on me in the middle of my turn. I narrowly missed oncoming traffic and stopped right before i hit the curb and a parked car. When i did stop and got my composure back i looked down and there was a steering wheel light on and a buzzing noise. All this while going no more then 6 miles and hour. At this current moment my car is less then 2 years old and has less then 400 miles on it and i cannot believe that this would happen to such a new car with so little miles on it. Following this incident i googled my car to see if i was the only one having this problem and lord behold i was not. There are numerous accounts of this happening to other people some resulting in serious accidents. But most of the cars in those incidents that i could see had about 20k to 30k miles on them and mine does not even have 1k on it yet.
