Description of the problem	Electric-assist power steering, randomly in the parking lot the wheel will turn all by itself, one way turns easier than the other, sometimes you have no power steering and other times your steering wheel turns like butter, i live in the mountains with a very windy and dangerous roads, i've taken it to several mechanics finally one mechanic just unplug the wiring harness so there is no power steering. It is very scary to drive especially with a newborn baby. There are a lot of cars on the road with this issue i know 10 different people that have some sort of power steering issue. This is very dangerous and i'm surprised there is not a recall yet on it. I've had two friends that are close to me that have this issue as well, one friend wrecked his car the other friend sold it i believe to pick-n-pull so it would not hurt anyone, please help and maybe help save a few lives, thank you for your time and i look forward to speaking with you
