| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Power steering stopped working without warning on the freeway, causing me to veer onto the shoulder until i could manually regain control. No dash lights came on. Power steering is working intermittently, but not functioning more than functioning. Searched online and found that there have been recalls for other years with the same equipment due to this, but not 2013. I've found literally thousands of complaint about this same issue, but nothing is being done. Someone could've easily been killed. This is an extremely expensive repair, and i still won't feel totally safe in my vehicle anymore knowing that this can randomly happen at anytime. |
