| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Power steering faded at high speed. this was caused by the steering rotation sensor. consumer had to put pressure on the steering wheel. when the power steering kicked back in vehicle veered off the highway from too much pressure on the steering wheel.*ak a normal steering rotation senor will fade out power steering at high speeds so you have better feel of the road. as speed decreases the steering should once again become easy when speed decreases. problem is intermittent, the steering would be hard at low speeds and while you are applying a lot of pressure to make a turn the power steering would suddenly come back on causing the consumer to pull the truck off the road or over the yellow line. consumer talked to several people who have the same problem with this model truck. *bf |
