I started with headaches ,and always nassau, always. Tired ,when I push on the accelerator I smelled fumes coming out of my A/C ..I was driving wide awake on 95 north ,processing to go home .I was in orangeburg s.c.I had been talking through my radio connected bluetooth, I had a little over a hour to go .a deer .my airbags on the driver side deployed but not the passengers .and they did not stay up to long ,a godly smell was coming from my car,.everything looked hazy ,I got out of my car ,called 911 ,I did not go…
Started car and put in reverse and noticed that the steering was not working normally and then noticed the power steering fault assist and service advance trac notification. Also at the same time, the turn signal would not stay engaged. I managed to drive 100 miles home with "manual steering" on the highway and needed to use one hand to change lanes. If this problem happened going 60 miles per hour, an accident or worse, lose of life, as what happened was unexpected and steering was very difficult.
