| Description of the problem | Electronic power steering (eps) seems to start to go out/off intermittently when making turns or driving straight. Becomes extremely hard to control kind of like the old non-power steering cars. One minute your getting assisted turning (hard or slight), a second later manual steering, then back to assisted. When passing another car the eps seems to even not want to be consistent when i just slightly turn the wheel at high speed. Again, it is intermittent but becoming more frequent. |
