Consumer Description

WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT THE POWER STEERING FOR BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT GOES OUT. IF THERE IS NO HARD TURN TO THE RIGHT THE STEERING REMAINS FUNCTIONAL. HAPPENED WHILE ON WINDING ROAD NEARLY RAN OFF THE ROAD. RESTART THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS UNTIL THE NEXT RIGHT TURN. DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH THE POWER STEERING ECU AND THE POWER STEERING CONVERTER AND GIVE ME A BILL FOR OVER $1000.
