Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The electric power steering (eps) light came on and i had no power steering. Fortunately, it happened when i was starting the car and not while i was driving, which could have been a potentially significant safety issue. This happened with approximately 9,750 miles on the car. The majority of my driving is on the parkway and expressway. The dealership replaced the steering column. However, it is very concerning to me that there was a loss of power steering with such little mileage on the car. I was just very fortunate it happened while i was not driving. |
