Consumer Description

POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND SERVICE ESC MESSAGE COMES ON. IF I TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE ERROR MESSAGE GOES AWAY AND POWER STEERING IS RESTORED TILL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HAPPENED YESTERDAY ON HIGHWAY SUDDENLY I HAD NO STEERING. LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH OTHERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. STATING THAT STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OTHERS MENTION A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY ON POWER STEERING FAILURE FOR 10 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES. I INQUIRED AT DEALER AND SO FAR THEY DON'T RECALL WARRANTY PROBLEM HAPPENS SOMETIMES USUALLY WHEN STARTING BUT YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. SCARY FEELING
