Consumer Description

2008 SCION XB. POWER STEERING FAILURE AS A RESULT OF POWER SUPPLY RELAY FAILURE. LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURRED UPON START UP. POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ON. WAS TOLD AT LOCAL GARAGE THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT COULD ONLY BE ADDRESSED AT DEALERSHIP. CAR WILL NEED TO BE DRIVEN TO DEALERSHIP, BUT WITHOUT POWER STEERING IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. I AM LUCKY THIS DID NOT OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. WHAT A LEMON. *TR
