Consumer Description

AT APPROXIMATELY 98,000 MILES, THE DASHBOARD ERROR MENU NOTICE TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. WHILE REVERSING AT LOW SPEED, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. I STOPPED THE TRUCK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED 15 SECONDS, AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. THE ERROR NOTICE REAPPEARED AND STEERING POWER RETURNED AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS. DURING THAT 15 SECONDS THE STEERING WHEEL APPEARED TO OSCILLATE SLOWLY ABOUT AN INCH, THEN STOPPED. STEERING HAS BEEN NORMAL SINCE, THOUGH THE ERROR MESSAGE STILL APPEARS. I KNOW 2015 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ERROR. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.
