Description of the problem | Now second occurrance of a problem with the power steering. Power assist fails on startup with car stationary and in motion. Both times the car had been parked in cold weather for a few hours. Unassisted steering is very high effort and renders the car almost unusable. The first time this occurred the dash warning light was on; dealer service follow-up had the car for four days but failed to trace the problem or document the failure code. During last occurrence the warning light did not appear. In both cases stopping and re-starting the vehicle caused the power steering to function properly again. |
