Consumer Description

WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE AUTO START-STOP IS ENGAGED, MOVING THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WILL START AND BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THIS DIFFICULTY WILL LAST FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL POWER STEERING IS RESTORED. THIS PROBLEM STARTED INTERMITTENTLY BUT HAS NOW BECOME A REGULAR EVENT.
