What owners wrote
I was driving along a road at 50 MPH which was the speed limit , all of a sudden I get signals on the car that there is a power steering malfuntion. The wheel locked up and I could not even turn it to get my car to safety. I hit a sign due to me not being able to turn my vehicle, my foot was jammed and I was tossed into the steering wheel
My fiance went to start the care to go to work and the power steering assist failure and service advancetrac warnings were on. She couldn't even turn the steering wheel. If she had been driving with our 2 year old son in the cat they could have been killed. There are many others that I have found with the same problems why had this not been recalled, serious injury or death could occur. Then there would be multiple lawsuits
