Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN A ROAD DOING ABOUT 35MPH AND NOTICE THE POWER STEERING QUITS WORKING, A MESSAGE COMES UP ON THE INFO PANEL THAT READS POWER STEERING, AND A BELL RINGS. I LOOK IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAYS THAT THE CAR HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (NO FLUID TO CHECK). I CALL THE DEALER AND HE SAYS THE CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL AT 86000 MILES (IT HAS 126000 NOW). APPARENTLY WHAT EVER HAPPENED BEFORE IS HAPPENING AGAIN. BEFORE ALL OF THIS HAPPENED I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AS I WAS AT A RED LIGHT. NOT SURE IF THE TWO ARE RELATED.
