Description of the problem	First incident, exiting the highway, slowed down, suddenly had no steering control ond the dash lit up with "power steering assist fault". I barely avoided an upcoming vehicle as i attempted to merge and avoid hitting a concrete wall. I managed to manhandle the truck to side of the road. Stopped. Turned the engine off. Restarted. Problem gone. Second incident: 4 days later. Turned into my work parking lot, was maneuvering around some parked vehicles and suddenly same exact thing happens and i almost wrecked again. I shift the engine off and this time when i started it, it says service power steering system now. I managed to park it somewhat in a spot and it is still sitting there at walmart (my work) behind the dealership i bought it from. I did contact the service department and was told if i wanted to drive it in and pay 108 dollars that they would hook it up and diagnose it, but i just cannot afford to pay that right now. I have read online about recalls with the 2014 models for the same reason. As well as other vehicles with the same engines. Seems like the 2013 should be as well. I am serious when i say i was in danger when this occurred. No control of steering. Extremely frightening experience.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
