The last time it happened to me while i was in the process of making a left turn, good thing i thought quick and grabbed the emergency brake or i would have had a head on collision cause of the loss of (power steering and braking ability). Everyone in the family is afraid to use the vehicle in any weather condition since they experienced this problem. |
