| Description of the problem | The electric power steering would not work. It has happened twice. The last time was july 28, 2014. We shut the car off, and restart it, and then it works ok. We are afraid that it might happen while we are driving it and we will have an accident. From online i have learned there have been a lot of occurrences of this. I'm surprised there hasn't been a recall, i think it is a real safety concern! *js |
