Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A DEEPER PUDDLE ON THE ROAD MY ELECTRON POWER STEERING STARTED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND AFTER STOPPING BRIEFLY TO BUY SOME SNACKS, MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING QUIT COMPLETELY. IT NOW NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL, AND THE ONLY WAY TO STEER IT IS WITH MANUAL (VERY HEAVY) STEERING. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS.
