NHTSA complaint #11309519, filed 2020-02, 78,000 miles“On multiple occasions my cars electrical system will randomly fade in and out and shut down while driving. This is most evident in the power steering, radio controls and air conditioning. I have tested and replaced both the battery in the alternator. I have also brought the car into the dealership so they could run a diagnostics. Nothing can be identified as a central problem, but the issue still continues. It is very dangerous as I loose my power steering while turning. This happens on short trips and long trips and many times while on the freeway at high speeds.”
