Consumer Description

1ST TIME MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT MAYBE 5MPH AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE THE CAR STARTED DINGING, THE PWR STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WHEEL LOCKED UP. TURNED THE CAR OFF, LET IT SIT FOR A BIT, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. HAS DONE IT 3 OTHER TIMES WHILE ON THE ROAD AT NO MORE THAN 45 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN MAY HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. HAVEN'T HAD IT REPAIRED YET. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WAS VERY SCARY AS I HAD 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR EACH TIME IT'S HAPPENED. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 46,700. *TR
