Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 35 MPH MY MINI SUDDENLY FELT AS IF I HAD SEVERAL FLAT TIRES. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED ALL MY TIRES. I HAD NO POWER STEERING, IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE MINI. (I HAVE DRIVEN CARS IN THE PAST WITHOUT POWER STEERING) IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO DRIVE THE MINI TO MY DESTINATION. I TURNED OFF THE MINI AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. WHEN I RESTARTED THE MINI I HAD POWER STEERING. IT CONCERNS ME THAT THE POWER STEERING WHEN OUT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. *TR
