Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD FLASHED, RADIO TURNED OFF, AND POWER STEERING CUT OUT. OCCURRED IN MANY DIFFERENT SITUATIONS INCLUDING HIGHWAY DRIVING. I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS WELL DOCUMENTED TO EXIST BOTH IN EARLIER MODELS OF THE FIT AS WELL AS THE 2009 MODEL. THE EARLIER VERSIONS LEADING UP TO 2008 HAVE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE 2009 MODEL DOES NOT. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED.
