Consumer Description

EVERY TIME I'M TURNING SLIGHTLY RIGHT MY POWER STEERING GOES OFF. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND SIDE STREETS. IF I TURN OFF CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IT RESETS AND WORKS AGAIN. I HAD THE COMPUTER RESET AND AFTER ONE DAY IT FAILED AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S JUST THE TORQUE SENSOR, COMPUTER OR STEERING COLUMN.
