Consumer Description

Power steering assist quit working while on the interstate. The steering wheel was extremely hard to turn and indicator light came on. The light was a red steering wheel with red exclamation next to it. I was able to safely pull over. I shut the truck off and looked to see if any fluid was leaking. Did not see any indication of fluid loss. Restarted the truck and steering worked normal. The same thing happened just as I was entering my driveway. I restarted the vehicle multiple times after that, and the red steering wheel indicator flashes immediately. Power steering has been completely lost. This all happened in the same day. I am very thankful that I was driving in a straight line at the moment of steering loss. I am not sure I would have been to avoid an accident if I were on a turn during that moment.
