Consumer Description

WAS IN OHIO, RAINY DAY, TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND LOST POWER STEERING. VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL AND THANKFULLY DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. PARKED, LOOKED TO SEE IF IT WAS REGULAR POWER STEERING (WHERE I COULD FIND A PLACE TO ADD FLUID IF IT WAS LOW-CAME TO REALIZE MY CAR HAS AN EPS SYSTEM), ATE LUNCH AND WHEN I CAME BACK AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR POWER STEERING WAS ACTIVE AND RESPONSIVE AGAIN. WAS FINE ON TRIP BACK TO MICHIGAN BUT WONDERING WHEN IT IS GOING TO GO OUT ON ME AGAIN.
