Consumer Description
I HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES WHERE MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ONE THE WARNING COMES ON, YOU HAVE NO TIME TO 'SERVICE' THE POWER STEERING. YOU IMMEDIATELY LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I ALMOST DROVE INTO A DITCH. LUCKILY, MY DAD TOWED IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, AND HE WAS ABLE TO RESET THE ERROR CODE. WELL, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON SUNDAY. I WAS DRIVING, THE WARNING TO 'SERVICE POWER STEERING' POPPED ON AND I LOST CONTROL AGAIN. I WAS LUCKY THAT AGAIN I WAS NOT ON AN EXPRESS WAY, OR GOING OVER 30MPH. WHILE DOING MY RESEARCH ONLINE, I SEE THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM.
