Description of the problem | We have had the recall for the eps repaired a few years ago. A few years later the eps came on again and almost crashed the car/no power steering. We again took it to a dealer in laurel, md and they said we had another recall and they downloaded the fix/no charge. Well about 2 years later/today the eps came on and again almost crashed the car. It is intermittent, i was able to get it home no problem. We made an appointment to a bowie, md dealer who can't get to it for 10 days! We are concerned it is the same recalled issue and can not be fixed. Now we are afraid to drive the car in fear there is no solution and we can not afford another car at this time. Please help! Thanks! Regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
