“On my way to work last night while driving in the highway, my steering wheel locked, making it impossible for me to turn. Then lights starting flashing on the dashboard saying check power steering system. I was afraid for my life as this is dangerous. I did safely make it to work. At this time I am unable to find a recall for this problem which is odd because this is definitely not a consumer's fault. It's a system failure.”

“Takata recall I was driving home with my little brother from 4th of july activities when the power steering eps system gave out. The steering wheel locked up making it impossible to turn. Besides my car only having 61,000 miles, this could have ended very bad as I was on a very busy road. My car warranty was up to 60k, I have seen multiple people having the same issue right around the same mileage.yet for some reason this is not a recall. People are at risk and it's only a matter of time before something tragic happens. …”

“While I was in motion and turning my car right to park, the power steering light went on and the steering wheel stopped responding. After starting the car three times, the power steering worked again. I drove the car on the street for 10 minutes and my power steering suddenly stopped working. My car could not turn and could only go straight while I was in motion. I was on a very busy intersection, so I tried to turn right into a small road. The turn was very wide since the steering wheel didn't work and I almost hit another car head on. My car was stuck on a busy city street.”
