Consumer Description

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET WHEN I LOST POWER-ASSISTED STEERING ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AFTER A FULL-STOP AT A STOP SIGN. SUDDENLY, IT REQUIRED A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 14V153000 EXACTLY DESCRIBES THE CONDITION EXPERIENCED WITH MY VEHICLE: "IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE.
