Having no control at that point, it continued until crashing into a wooden fence. …”
NHTSA complaint #11595428, filed 2024-06“The steering sticks/locks and pops when turning to the right making if very hard to impossible to steer, but works fine when turning to the left.

The Volvo dealer reported no problems with the steering pump and could not explain the reasons for the repeated failure, simply reporting the steering gear needed to be replaced again. The problem did go away after replacing it again. …”
