Consumer Description

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON I WAS DRIVING ON OUR MAIN CITY ROAD, GOING 35-40MPH. WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE SEAT BELT ALARM WENT OFF A FEW TIMES, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE SAME DAY AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. IT SEEMS TO BE A SPORADIC ISSUE BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN LAST NIGHT. NOT WANTING TO TAKE ANY CHANCES, I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT MY LOCAL MECHANICS LAST NIGHT....JUST GOT THE CALL FROM HIM THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW STEERING MOTOR. THIS COULD BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS EVENT AND THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. I'M A 47 YR OLD WOMAN WITH MS AND IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TAKE A TURN WHEN THE POWER STEERING IS OUT. *JS
