| Description of the problem | Steering started feeling like it was hanging up while turning. Progressively got worse over days by happening more often. Eventually to the point now where there is no power assist. The weirdest thing was at one point it started to work totally fine for about ten minutes then went back to total failure. This is equipped with the epas system. Called dealer and was quoted a new complete rack o fix it at approx $2000. This system does have a recall on 2014s but not 2013s for what seems to be the same problem. |
