| Description of the problem | The power steering becomes ineffective particularly in colder weather. From what i have read online, power steering problems are very common with this year model. This started happening in 2017 to our vehicle. We have to stop the vehicle, move the wheel left & right a few times to get it to start working again. This happens when we are going from reverse, then switch gears to drive. This has happened on a city street, in our drive way, & when turning at a red light, it was very scary for my wife when it happened at the light. |
