Consumer Description

AFTER READING THE MANUAL, FOUND THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS LISTED FOR PROBLEM, ONCE I RESTARTED THE CAR IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. THERE WAS NO OTHER WARNING NOR IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. COME TO FIND OUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS BUT HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND EPAS STEERING GEAR. AFTER READING AND FINDING MAY PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING THERE NEED TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
