Consumer Description

MY 2006 LEXUS IS250 SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING ONE DAY, WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. RED P/S LIGHT SHOWED UP ON DASHBOARD, SO I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, AND TURN IT BACK ON TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE THIS STOPPED WORKING. P/S LIGHT SOMETIMES ALSO TURNS ON WHILE I'M ON THE FREEWAY, AND I HAVE TO MAN-HANDLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO PULL OVER. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION TWICE. THEN, I BROUGHT MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE ECM. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS BUT THE ISSUE WAS STILL NOT FIXED.
