Consumer Description
I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND U-TURN IN THE CITY ON MAIN STREET WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN MY DASH LIGHTS TURNED OFF MY BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND ACCELERATION. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR TURNED OFF. LUCKY THERE WAS NOBODY COMING THE OTHER WAY BECAUSE I WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. ONCE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC THE DASH LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE. HOWEVER WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PARK TO CHECK THE CAR, ANY SLIGHT MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD MAKE MY HEADLIGHTS ALMOST TURN OFF BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE IT WAS DRAWING A LOT OF EXTRA POWER FOR SOME REASON TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I THEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON WITH NO PROBLEM. I WENT TO A PARKING LOT TO SEE IF I COULD RE-CREATE WHAT HAPPENED BUT I COULD NOT. I WENT HOME AND READ A BUNCH OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NOBODY HAVING A SOLUTION. SO I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I WILL GET THE SAME ANSWER. WHICH IS WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG AND WE CANNOT RE-CREATE THE SITUATION.
