Consumer Description
I drove to a shopping center, parked the car and went to do some shopping. When I was done, started the car and attempted to pull out from the parkin place. The steering system was almost unmovable. Using extreme force, was able to crack it a little bit while slowly moving back; however realize i could not possibly drive the car at that kind of effort to steer. Pulled back into the parking slot, an proceeded to attempt to re start the car. by the 3rd attempt, the power steering worked normally; I tried moving the steering both directions, and after verifying that it was working apparently normal, decided to drive slowly back home. I parked the car and have not used it for almost a week, I have been trying to find if there were any recalls on this unnerving kind of failure. The steering system.
