The contact owned a 2008 Lexus IS350. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 mph, the steering wheel began to turn to the left independently and crashed into a parked vehicle. The contact’s vehicle rolled over and landed on its roof before stopping. None of the air bags deploy upon impact. A bystander assisted the contact to exit the vehicle by breaking the front passenger side window with his foot. The contact was transported to the hospital by ambulance. The contact sustained bruising on her face and body. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the insurance company lot and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

GOT A AIRBAG LIGHT ON WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING. EVERYTHING IS INTACT. WAS READING FORUMS ABOUT IT. SAYS THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON. PLEASE LET ME KNOW I DID NOT TAKE A PICTURE. BUT IF NEEDED I CAN TAKE A PICTURE AND SEND IT TO YOU.

AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A DEEPER PUDDLE ON THE ROAD MY ELECTRON POWER STEERING STARTED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND AFTER STOPPING BRIEFLY TO BUY SOME SNACKS, MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING QUIT COMPLETELY. IT NOW NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL, AND THE ONLY WAY TO STEER IT IS WITH MANUAL (VERY HEAVY) STEERING. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT LINE, MOST OF THE TIME WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A NORMAL CORRECTION IT WOULD FEEL LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS CAUGHT ON A MAGNET AND I NEEDED TO TUG THE STEERING LOOSE. THIS CAUSES ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR FOR FEW SECONDS TO CORRECT THE STEERING. *TR
