“While driving at 60-65 MPH on a 4 lane highway the car took a hard turn left. When I attempted to correct it was if I had no steering what so ever. This resulted in a collision and spin out with my car and the other car. My dealer said this can't happen, but it did . The car has not been repaired as I wish to find the cause.”
