Description of the problem | The complaint had to do with the complete failure of the power steering. On the morning of october 30 while driving at approximately 45 mph the steering wheel seemed to lock in place for a split second and then no power steering, i was lucky traffic was light and not in a curve, i was able to manually pull of to the side. Had this been in traffic and or a curve this could have been disastrous of myself and any nearby drivers. |
