Consumer Description
I ENTERED THE DATE FOR THE 3RD OCCURRENCE BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER THE DATES OF THE FIRST 2 OCCURRENCES. EVERY TIME I HAVE A FLAT TIRE/LOW TIRE PRESSURE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. AFTER THE TIRE IS FIXED/INFLATED, THE POWER STEERING IS STILL OUT. I THEN HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CODES RESET - POWER STEERING THEN WORKS. I COULD SEE THIS BEING A BIG ISSUE IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENS - ALTHOUGH THAT SCENARIO HASN'T HAPPENED TO ME YET. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE TPMS AND POWER STEERING ELECTRONICS THAT CAUSES POWER STEERING TO SHUT DOWN. *TR
