Consumer Description

Vehicle says service power steering but will intermittently go in and out upon starting/turning off vehicle. Didn't have any issues and seems that there was a recall for this but for only specific VINs. Not sure why the vehicle is doing this as it was working fine ever since I bought it and never experienced any issues ether leading up to the "failure". Just one day it started saying "Service Power Steering" and will go in and out by toggling the start of the vehicle. Fuse is working as designed as I have replaced it and still nothing different. Jumping the electronic component will allow it to work as well. Must be a faulty code because it will work correctly sometimes.
