| Description of the problem | Used vehicle (80,000 miles). Power steering cut out while my wife was driving along curve at approximately 35 mph with our infant son in the back. Managed to safely stop, took to dealership for evaluation. Dealership indicated it had fixed problem with electronic power steering system, but the power steering cut out again the following day while my wife was driving approximately 70 mph on the highway. Happened to my wife a third time when she was attempting to back out of parking space. Dealer couldn't identify problem, said we needed to replace entire steering assembly. |
