Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING HOME ON SATURDAY EVENING WHEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE WORDS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME UP. I WAS ON A 3 LANE STREET IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND JUST BARELY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK, HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY AND AGAIN TONIGHT AND NOW IF I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT THE MESSAGE REMAINS AND THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. I TAKE CARE OF MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER AND WILL NOT TAKE THE CHANCE TO PUT HER IN THE CAR. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. UPDATED 9/28/15 *LN *CN
