| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | As i was pulling into a parking space, the power steering stopped working. I could not steer the vehicle and it was difficult to brake. I turned the car off and restarted it twice, with no effect. I was able to muscle it into the parking space. I shut the car off and ran an errand. When i returned and restarted the vehicle, the power steering had started working again. I checked the power steering fluid level, which is fine. The problem seemed electrical. I have not yet had a reoccurence of this problem. I am worried about the impact this would have if it occurred when traveling at higher speeds. |
