Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT GOES OUT, I MUST STEER MANUALLY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO STAY IN MY LANE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS AS OF YE, BUT CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE, IT IS FINE AND POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE IN YEARS PAST BUT HAS NOT OCCURRED IN AWHILE SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. NOW, IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN.
