Consumer Description

WHENEVER THE OUTSIDE TEMP REACHES 82 OR ABOVE AND I AM STUCK IN TRAFFIC, I LOSE MY POWERSTEERING (ELECTRIC). THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE DAY 1 WHEN I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE ON 11/1/2006. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. EACH TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWS THE FAILURE BUT WILL NOT REMEDY THE CONDITION UNLESS THE IDIOT LIGHT IS ON WHEN I ARRIVE. *TR
