Complaint Summary
STEERING
Owner Narrative
I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE WHEN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BEFORE GOING OFF OF THE COLVERT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WASN'T ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE OTHER LANE AND THAT I COULD SLOW DOWN TO PREVENT VEHICLE DAMAGE. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS VERY DANGEROUS! IT MAY NOT SOUND THAT BAD JUST LOSING POWER STEERING BUT WHEN YOU DO NOT EXPECT IT AND IT HAPPENS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY AROUND CURVES OR AT THE STOP LIGHT MAKING A RIGHT AND TIGHT TURN. I AM A YOUNG MAN THAT CAN CONTROL NON POWER STEERING VEHICLES BUT NOT UNEXPECTEDLY!
