Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING CAR WHEN THE EPS LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING CUTS OUT MID-DRIVE. USUALLY, THIS IS WHILE THE CAR IS HOT, BUT NOT ALWAYS. SOMETIMES, I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE POWER STEERING RESETS, BUT IT WILL OFTEN CUT OUT AGAIN. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. I'M TERRIFIED THAT IT WILL CUT OFF AND I'LL GET IN AN ACCIDENT.
