Description of the problem | I typically drive my rx8 like it should, one day i come home park my car per usual. Next morning i go to turn on my car, the dsc light stayed on, thought nothing of it, then on my way to work, i was driving causally, then while in the middle of a turn, my steering became very heavy and almost impossible to turn, my power steering had went out. After dealing with about 2 full days at the dealership, spending thousands, still no power steering, and i'm not credited any portion of what i paid to get fixed and its still not fixed. This is a known issue and a recall must be done immediately before people seriously get injured, injure others, or even die. This is all possible, if i didn't have both hands on the wheel, an accident most definitely would have taken place. |
