Description of the problem | Power steering malfunctions at low to moderate speeds of 5 to 25 mph. The vehicle goes into manual steering and it is almost impossible to turn the wheel in order to go in to a turn. This has begun happening while driving at speeds of 45 to 55mph as well. I noticed the problem when i first brought my vehicle and reported it to the dealer. The said there was no issue. Now the problem is getting worse. I must remain in my lane and not attempt to make any quick turns. Or the steering wheel will lockup on me. I am afraid that i will not be able to control my vehicle and do injury to others as well as, myself, |
