Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED WHILE TURNING ONTO AN EXIT RAMP FROM AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. AS SOON AS IT OCCURRED, THE CONSOLE LIGHT INDICATED A POWER STEERING CODE. AFTER PULLING INTO A TRUCK STOP, I LOOKED TO CHECK FOR THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL, AND DISCOVERED THAT IT IS AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND MANY MILES, AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING FREQUENTLY, AND OCCURS AT BOTH LOW AND HIGHWAY SPEED, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN STRAIGHT CONDITIONS, AND WHILE TURNING ON CITY STREETS AND PARKING LOTS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS TYPE OF SITUATION IT IS ALREADY UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA. *TR
