What owners wrote

The power steering failed while driving approximately 50 MPH on a mild curve on a wet oregon state highway. It became extremely difficult to steer the vehicle. This surely could have caused injury or death had there been a sharp curve or pedestrian or vehicle to avoid. I am having the vehicle towed to the dealership for repair. This vehicle has 2043 miles on it.

Electric power steering failed - almost caused a wreck and it would have it it happened in traffic or parking garage or accident avoidance maneuver. The car is 3 yrs and 3 months old with approx 28,000 easy miles- the first 2017 in spokane delivered in 2016 (yes, a 2017 built in early 2016). The lt version. Happened after typical city drive on all electric in modest temperatures and clear weather and running on electric.
