Consumer Description

SUDDENLY LOST ABILITY TO OPERATE THE POWER STEERING WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THE WARNING LIGHT WAS PRESENT ON DASHBOARD AND INDICATED POWER STEERING PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE STRAIGHT ONLY AND THEN PUT THE CAR TO STOP. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NO LONGER PRESENT. (THIS CAR WAS TWICE BEFORE AT THE DEALER REPAIR SHOP FOR STEERING PROBLEM IN THE PAST - UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS BECAUSE THE STEERING WILL LOCKED WHEN I WAS PARKING THE CAR AND THIS REQUIRED ME TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WHAT SO EVER. THEN I WILL HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND WAIT ONE MINUTE AND START THE CAR AGAIN TO UNLOCK THE STEERING AND DRIVE THE CAR. THE CAR DEALER'S WARRANTY REPAIRS DID NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM.) *TR
