| Description of the problem | While in the middle a a 5 way boston intersection my power steering failed without warning and i was unable to direct my car in busy traffic. I was able to remain calm and turn on hazard lights to get myself out of harms way, but was extremely lucky. The steering light came on immediate, but there were no noises, no previous issues, and no way other than luck for me to prevent a serious accident. |
