Consumer Description

DRIVING WITH TRAFFIC, THE CAR DIES AND THE STEERING GETS VERY HARD TO TURN THEN BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. CAR WILL RESTART WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS WILL HAPPEN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. TOOK TO THE DEALER THEY FIXED THE GAS TANK LEAK AND OTHER RECALL PARTS. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS THE STEERING OR ELECTRICAL. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED YOUR GOING OR IF YOUR GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED THE THERMOSTAT, CHECKED THE FUSE BOX CHECKED. THE DEALER CHECKED AND FIXED THE OTHER 3 THINGS FROM RECALL AS STATED. THE IGNITION SOMETIMES GETS STUCK WHEN THE STEERING GOES OUT YOU CAN NOT GET THE KEY TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT HAS NO POWER THEN YOU CAN RESTART THE CAR. ALSO THE CAR HEAT GAUGE NEVER GOES ABOVE HALF WAY SO CAR IS NOT OVER HEATING.
