Consumer Description

TURNED MY TRUCK ON AT APPROX 45 DEGREES F. RECEIVED A "POWER STEERING WARNING" MESSAGE AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AND NO WARNING LIGHT CAME UP AND POWER STEERING RETURNED. IT HAPPENED LATER THAT MORNING AS WELL. I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND AGAIN THE WARNING WENT AWAY AND POWER STEERING RETURNED. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE THE TRUCK HOME AND HAVE NOT MOVED IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO A PRIOR RECALL OR SIMILAR ONE FOR THE EPS SYSTEM. I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THIS WILL GO OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING THE VEHICLE SO I'M NOT TAKING MY CHANCES.
