Description of the problem | On two separate occasions my steering has gone out. 1st time was on april 4 2015 going approx. 20 miles per hour, was about to turn into a parking lot. Was totally unaware of what happen but steering got extremely hard. Had to turn the car off, pull out the manual and see what the indicator light on the dash meant. Then on april 24 2015, going approx. 75 miles per hour on the interstate it went out again. Could have caused a serious accident. I had to pull over and turn my car off and restart it. Needless to say i was a nervous wreck driving home. After this second incident is when i decided to research and see if others were having this problem and wow there are several. Its a shame this has not been a recall by now. I am more appalled by the number of people that have brought their vehicles in and have been told by the service people they cannot recreate the problem so nothing gets done. Will people need to be killed like the others car issues before this is resolved? My car just turned to 20,000 miles. I should not have issues. My car is going in on monday for service. Lets see how this is handled. |
