Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPROX. 15 MPH WHEN THE ALERT CHIME, PWR STEERING DISPLAY AND THE ACTUAL POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE CAR JOLTED AS IF I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS ON THE ROAD; STEERING WAS DIFFICULT. I MANAGED TO TURN AROUND, HEADED HOME AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. I DROVE TO THE STORE AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING LOT. SAME ISSUE - FULLY FUNCTIONAL WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON THEN GOES OUT AS I AM DRIVING. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. IS THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE BEING RECALLED? IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT IS A VEHICLE MAINTENANCE ISSUE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. *TR
