Consumer Description

THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING SHORTLY AFTER CAR WAS STARTED TO GO ON S SHORT TRIP. WE WERE STILL N OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED. I COULD STILL DRIVE IT, BUT TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT ON CURVES ON BACK ROADS AND HIGHWAY TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE 32 MILES AWAY. I HAVE HEARD OTHER SUBARUS HAVE HAD SHORTS IN THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM.
