Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WILL SUDDENLY GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE DASH SHOWS A POWER STEERING FAULT CODE. TO CLEAR THE ISSUE, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK, IGNITION TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. TENDS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE (NOT SURE WHY) AND TYPICALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR MONTHS AND I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR VIN ALTHOUGH THERE ARE REPORTS OF THE SAME MAKE/MODEL HAVING THE ISSUE.
