What owners wrote
This started this week, the electrical parts (radio, speakers, turning signal clicker, AC etc) will constantly flicker off then come back on after about ten seconds, every time I have the car running. The stability warning will sometimes go on but will eventually go out. The specific incident occurred the the 27th of august when I went to take a left turn, on to a highway. When I went to make a turn my power steering locked up and almost caused me to hit a passing car and get rear ended.
While driving all of the dash lights keep flickering on and off. The power steering went out and the AC turned off and would not turn on. The next day the car would not start and key was stuck in the ignition.
