I was driving this car on a city street when the 'service power steering now' light came on. I couldn't turn the wheel so I took it to precision tune and they reset it but told me that they see this make/model of car with the same power steering issue a lot and that if it happened again that I would have to take it to the dealership. That was monday it is now thursday and the same 'service power steering' light came on again! I'm told that the entire power steering system has to be replaced for 1800+
