Consumer Description

UPON STARTING VEHICLE I NOTICED INTERMITTENT "CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM". DURING DRIVE CYCLE I ENCOUNTERED FAILURE OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST, VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER VEHICLE. WENT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE, THEY WITNESSED SAME SYMPTOMS STATED ABOVE, BUT INTERMITTENT CHECK LIGHT WILL NOT PRODUCE A FAULT CODE, TECHNICIAN STATED IT SEEMS LIKE A GROUND PROBLEM. UNABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE DUE TO UNSAFE CONDITION, VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AVOID AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF FORCE NEEDED TO STEER VEHICLE.
