| Description of the problem | I purchased this auto in sept 2917 used, a few weeks later my wife was driving on a city street when the electric steering assist failed and a red steering wheel indicator appeared on the dash she managed to drive it home, when i turned the car off and restarted it everything was ok. On 11/12 2017 the same thing happened to me as i was turning onto a side street from a city street i was so surprised i didnt turn fast enough and almost hit 3 teenagers on a sidewalk. I immediately shut the car off and re started it and every thing again was ok. I am afraid there is a malfunction in the control i am sure it will happen again and the result may not be as easily solved. |
