| Description of the problem | On 9/12/14, while driving home from the grocery store, my power steering went out mid-turn. This is the 7th time my power steering has gone out. In previous incidents it would say "service power steering" as soon as i turned on the car then the light would go out after a period of few minutes to an hour and the driving would be fine. This is the power steering has gone out while driving. I have previously taken it to the dealership (orchard) a few months ago for this problem and was told there was nothing wrong and there were "no alerts in the system". This time i took pictures of the "service power steering" alerts. I hope that they will address this issue. In addition to this, my vehicle has had more than 5 safety recalls in the last year and 2 of them have not been addressed by (orchard) due to lack of parts. This is unacceptable! |
