| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The automatic start/stop function turns the truck "off" at a stop. When waiting to make a left turn across traffic and the engine has turned off and the wheel is engaged in a turning angle, the power steering does not turn back on as the engine turns back on. The result is a loss of power steering through the turn putting me in multiple situations where i have no power steering into oncoming traffic until it finally engages approximately 2 seconds later. In multiple situations i have had to use all of my strength to turn the wheel and the vehicle without power steering, out of the way of traffic as i am making a turn. |
