Consumer Description

WAS PULLING MY TRAILER OUT OF THE WATER AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING, FLUIDS FULL, PUMP WORKING, JUST ELECTRICAL ISSUE. HAD TO DRIVE HOME 20 MILES WITHOUT POWER STEERING, VERY HARD TO TURN. THEY SAID THEY 'FIXED' THIS IS ISSUE IN 2015, BUT HERE I AM IN A 2017 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, LOW SPEED AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER STEERING, THANK GOODNESS I WASN'T PULLING ON TO A HIGHWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE.
