| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | First time the incident occurred, driving in traffic at about 20mph, slowing down at a traffic light, power steering went out and the esc light came on. I had to stop the car and restart it in the middle of traffic to regain power steering. The car was taken to the dealership the following day. I was told the power steering needed an "update". After the update the same thing happened a few days later while accelerating onto the highway. The car was brought back to the dealer and we were told the steering wheel needed calibration, so the steering wheel was re calibrated and we were told that the issue was resolved and so the malfunction would not reoccur. However, the malfunction happened a 3rd time, on 3/25, while driving at approximately 20mph in traffic, power steering shut off and the esc light came on. We will take the car back to the dealer tomorrow. This issue is unsafe as when the power steering goes out, we have no control of the vehicle. The malfunction occurs without warning and poses a serious safety risk if it occurs at a high speed. |
