Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT MAKES THE CAR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND MANEUVER. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF, RESETS THE MODULE AND IT WILL WORK FOR A BIT. THERE IS A CLICK JUST BEFORE IT GOES OUT. TWICE THE CLICK OCCUR HAS OCCURRED WHILE TURNING A CORNER. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. NO WARNING, EXCEPT A CLICK, AND THEN NO ABILITY TO DRIVE THE CAR, BECAUSE IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THEY TELL ME THERE ARE NO ISSUES, BUT NOW THEY ISSUE A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING. MY VEHICLE YEAR IS NOT WITHIN THE RECALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IS NOT AN ISSUE. IT WAS VERY CONCERNING FOR ME. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF, BUT IMPOSSIBLE WHEN IT STALLS IN A TURN. *TR
