Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While driving in the rain the battery light and brake light come on, the steering wheel freezes and power seems to lessen in the car. After a few seconds the steering resumes. Has occurred during a turn, making the car go straight. There is no power over the steering when this occurs, however, the brakes do work. The steering wheel becomes extremely rigid where it cannot be turned. Has happened on at least 3 different occasions. Almost hit by another car three times. The car has been taken back to the dealer two other times with no relief. They do not seem to know how to fix it. I have seen this on this site under steering: hydraulic power assist system. |
