What owners wrote
Electronic power steering suddenly and without warning shut off and I was unable to steer resulting in a vehicle collision and injuries requiring surgery. The vehicle was in motion when the eps shut off.
I was driving down a city street at around 35MPH, steering got real stiff, and the steering wheel wouldn't move back to center, shortly afterwards all power steering assist went off. Was able to get to safety but things would've been a lot worse if there was traffic.
