| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Power steering is starting to fail. The symptoms are difficulty in turning, wheels not returning to center after a turn, complete power steering failure. The biggest problem is that the epas system is married to the rack and pinion assembly so the entire assembly has to be replaced instead of just the epas. About a $2000 repair. I understand parts break but but having to replace a major part of the steering package is very poor design. |
