What owners wrote

When the steering wheel is turned all the way to either side, multiple alarm sounds go off in the vehicle including loss of power steering, loss of reverse sensors, loss of hill assist and loss of stability control. This occurs anytime the wheel is fully turned, either stationary or moving. This occurred 2 years ago in the same vehicle and they replaced the computer, after not finding any other issue. Now it is occurring again, same symptoms, same cause. A video can easily be sent if requested.
