“Takata recall. I the procees of driving and turning the dash board lights up and its a symbol with a small wrench . The car jerks I a whole new direction. And then another symbol appears and says power steering service and it is really hard to drive and turn while on the highway or street.”
NHTSA complaint #11102748, filed 2018-06, 49,768 miles“This car has always had a rubbing or grinding sensation just after making a turn, at low speeds. It is subtle but definitely there. The dealer discounted my claim during the first service visit and said that it is normal. I don't know if this is associated with the steering issues that I have at higher speeds or not. This issue only happens just after making hard turns such as 90 degree turns from street to street. It does not occur when making curves.”
NHTSA complaint #10575670, filed 2014-03, 65 miles“My car has only 55, 148 miles and the power steering module has gone out already. I have had my car for only 3 years and I have already had problems with the transmission and now the power steering. I am not sure how much it will cost to get it repair. My car locked up as I was driving it. I looked down and saw my dashboard flashing saying that the power steering needed to be service. I could not turn the car at first. All I could do is just go straight. Then all of a sudden I was able to turn the car, but it was very hard.”
NHTSA complaint #10882715, filed 2016-07, 55,148 miles“This car has steering issues during highway driving. The steering gets very stiff and appears to get stuck when the wheels are in one position for very long such as on the highway. This has happened a multitude of times since I purchased this vehicle last july. In the beginning, I assumed it was because the car was new but it's taking more and more effort to adjust the steering during highway travel. This is a concern because one day it could lead to over adjustment and maybe a wreck at higher speeds. …”
NHTSA complaint #10575669, filed 2014-03, 65 miles“I was driving through a construction zone when my steering wheel locked up. It surprised me and caused me panic somewhat. The lane was very narrow and started to turn, but my steering wheel did not respond the way it should. It took a lot of effort to turn the wheels. The car got too close to the cement guardrails and collided with them on the passenger side up by the front wheel. The car has damage at the site of impact and now the stabilitrac system has a fail light on. Also, the car shakes when driven, and there is a general loss of control when steering now.”
