| Description of the problem | Complete failure of power steering. Multiple fault lights. Hill decent fault, advanced track service fault, steering assist fault, and a couple more. Whole driving, i went you make a left turn. Turned the wheel about 3/4 around and it "popped" back to the right and then released allowing me to make the turn. Once i stopped the truck and turned it off, i started the truck again and went to turn the wheel but it would only squeal when i tried to turn the wheel. Would not allow me to turn at all. Turned the truck off again and restarted it. No power steering at all now. Dealer says probably around $2000 to fix. Very dangerous. |
