“2010 Scion XB-the steering will sometimes feel as if it just gives out. It only happens for about 2 seconds-but when it does it is very frightening. I have felt it happen twice now-the first time I was on a ramp and it felt as if the car was going to go straight off the ramp--but it kept curving as it should-then control of the steering was restored and I was fine.”
