Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING AT 40 MPH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD, THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AND I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES RESTARTING THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. *JS
