Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN DECEMBER 2018, IT HAD 123,500 MILES ON IT. THIS MORNING AS MY SON WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH A LEFT TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE STEERING SUDDENLY LOCKED UP, WARNING LIGHT "SERVICE ECS" CAME ON, AND HE HAD NO POWER STEERING! WE TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AGAIN, SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO A SAFE SPOT TO PARK. THIS WAS A HORRIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE ONLINE REPORTS ABOUT TODAY IN MY SEARCH FOR SOME ANSWERS.
