| Description of the problem | While driving, we (multiple drivers) experience intermittent loss of power steering at slow to moderate speeds (below 30 mph). We have checked the fluids and all looks good. The mechanic cannot pinpoint the issue and i've noted that multiple people on the internet have experienced the same issue. The issue occurs very sporadically and may go days without recurrence. It has occurred during turns around the corner as well as during lane changes. |
