Consumer Description

WHILE IN MOTION POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEAR ON DASHBOARD, AND STEERING HAS HARD. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING AND PINION. BUT WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AND STEERING WAS WORKING. ISSUE CAME BACK A WEEK LATER AND I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT STATED THAT THE DEALER PROBABLY RESET THE CODES OR COMPUTER. HE CHECK THE STEERING AND CABLING AND FOUND NO ISSUE. HE RESET THE COMPUTER CODE AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. TWO WEEKS LATER AFTER MY TIRE BECAME LOW THE SAME ISSUE HAPPEN. IT SEEMS THAT THE STEERING KEEPS ERRORING OUT OR GETTING SOME TYPE OF MESSAGE CAUSING IT TO SHUTDOWN UNTIL THE CODE IS RESET.
