Consumer Description

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILS WHILE DRIVING. NEARLY HIT A CAR WHEN IT WENT OUT AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. STARTED HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES LAST YEAR (2009). PULL CAR OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT OFF THEN TURN ON AND POWER STEERING IS BACK ON. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN ROAD. NOW WE HAVE 53,000 MILES (JUNE 2010) AND IT IS HAPPENING ALMOST EVERY TIME WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
