| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Power steering assist is lost in the rain. the car had this issue when it was new. most of the time it happened, the car was going straight. now when it occurred in a turn, this becomes much more of a safety issue. within minutes, upon reaching highway speed, the power steering went out when i went through a puddle as the road was in a bend. this known vehicle defect is a major safety issue when the driver can not safely control the vehicle. there should be a recall to fix it immediately.*ak |
