The failure and current mileage was 400. Updated 06/19/14 after he crashed into the pole, the vehicle came to a halt making almost a 75 degree angle in the road. …”
NHTSA complaint #10593665, filed 2014-05, 400 miles“The power steering has intermittently been de-activating. There is a warning light that comes on (yellow triangle with an exclamation mark). When this happens it causes the steering wheel to feel like it’s pulls in a direction. After we suddenly lose power steering with no warning we’re left to drive a car with no power steering until it suddenly re-engages. There has been no rhyme or reason to when this happens. The issue has been diagnosed at a factory dealership. The car has not sustained any accident (ever) in the +/- 4 years we’ve owned it”
