| Description of the problem | On turning right power steering shuts off and only had manual steering control until wheels were straightened and the power steering returned. This only happens on turning right. Went to dealer complaint is on file , dealer said nothing wrong new cars power steering different than previous cars. This is terrible and if not fixed i am going to trade in this car. It is the worst steering auto i ever had. I am 83 and i have had a lot of cars in my lifetime from different auto companies but none ever had this steering problem.. |
