Consumer Description

VEHICLE STEERING LOSES CONTROL. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER WHILE IT WAS IN WARRANTY AND NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT. I SEE THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOLD THE DEALER THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES AND EVEN FATALITIES. NOTE: I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A TSB (76-30-01) FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC VARIABLE ORIFICE (EVO) SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF LOW VOLTAGE CONDITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR, WHICH RESULTED IN ACCIDENT DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL. *JB
