I was driving the car and the power steering went completely out without warning and almost caused a serious collison. After researching the car I found that there were multile issues with the power steering modules on these vehicles, this car needs to be repaired by the manufacturer, this is a defect.

The steering all of a sudden became impossible to turn the vehicle. I almost had an accident trying to get over to the shoulder. While pulling over on the shoulder the warning signal on the mirror didn’t tell me that another car was next to me. These issues could have cost me my life

AT CERTAIN OF DRIVING OR STATIONARY THE POWER STEERING JUST QUITS WORKING AND THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

I PURCHASED THE CAR USED A MONTH AGO. TODAY IS THE SECOND DAY THAT AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE DASH DISPLAYED A POWER STEERING FAULT MESSAGE. SURE ENOUGH I CAN BARELY STEER THE CAR. EACH TIME I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED 30 SECONDS, TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY.
