| Description of the problem | While making a left hand turn at approximately 15 miles an hour the power steering went out and i got a "power steering assist fault" warning. No prior warning of any problems that this might be about to happen. Fortunately one of my teenage daughters were not driving it. They would not have been able to make the turn. Took it to dealership and it was out of warranty due to mileage and not included in power-train warranty. And no recalls on this item, although through research i see there is one for the 2014 year model. The dealership has informed me that it will cost me 1800 dollars for the repair. |
