Consumer Description

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 65 MPH. STEERING STARTED FEELING A LITTLE "SOFT" AND THEN IMMEDIATELY STARTED FEELING "NOTCHY" AND THE DASHBOARD ANNUNCIATOR PANEL STARTED GIVING WARNINGS "POWER STEERING FAILURE" "STEERING WILL BE DIFFICULT", "SCBS NEEDS INSPECTION", "FOW NEEDS INSPECTION". THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)/ DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) INDICATOR IN THE TACHOMETER DISPLAY AREA LIT UP AND STAYED ILLUMINATED (I BELIEVE THAT INDICATES A TCS/DSC MALFUNCTION). WE WERE ABOUT 2 MILES TO THE INTERSTATE EXIT AND ANOTHER 3 MILES TO OUR HOME SO WE DROVE AT REDUCED SPEED TO EXIT AND THEN TO HOME. CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY TRY TO JERK TO THE SIDE, OCCASIONALLY REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT EXTRA FORCE (INTERMITTENTLY) TO STEER, OCCASIONALLY ONLY NEEDED "NORMAL" AMOUNT OF EFFORT TO STEER, OCCASIONALLY THERE WOULD BE A LOUD "GROWLING" WITH A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION THAT COULD BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR
