Consumer Description

EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE, THE POWER STEERING WON'T ENGAGE WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR. I CAN TURN THE WHEEL, BUT IT ONLY TURNS SLOWLY WITH A LOT OF PRESSURE APPLIED. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON TO FIX IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR OR FIVE TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR (APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS). IT HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY OR THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, WHERE I NORMALLY PARK.
