Steering

4 reports
“Power steering has been going out intermittently. The first time was about a week ago at a light. One of my mechanics suggested it could be a battery going out, and wouldn’t you know it? My battery went out a couple days later. With my brand new battery in the car, my power steering has still been going out intermittently. So I think they may have been unrelated. Today for the first time I went out while I was actually driving right before a turn. This is extremely dangerous and I’m worried about driving the car and ended up losing power steering on the freeway.. the most concerning part is that the last five complaints have been for the exact same issue so I’m not alone. Why haven’t they tried to have it fixed for this? Or a recall?”
