What owners wrote
I was south bound on one way street 30 MPH into green light intersection. A west bound car failed to stop and struck rear panel behind drivers rear wheel. This started a spin and threw me against drivers window. I blacked out for a second and the tried to regain control. I hit brakes hard, but wheel continued to spin at 30 MPH which caused me to spin in donut fashion.
Power assist steering faded to nothing while driving. Dealer replaced major front suspension components, including tires, but the steering failure still persisted. The cause of the failure had not been determined. Manufacture rwas not claiming any responsibility at this time.
