Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHEN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING A WARNING CAM ACROSS THE MESSAGE SCREEN SAYING POWER STEERING AND THE SERVICE LIGHT TURNED ON. I HAD LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY FORCE THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE WARNINGS DISAPPEARED AND POWER STARING WORKING FINE UNTIL ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES LATER, ABOUT LESS THAN A 1/4 MILE TRAVELED POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. I CONTACTED MY DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE SERVICE PERSON THERE NEW INSTANTLY WHAT IT WAS AND HE SAID THAT THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB
