What owners wrote
The steering wheel is very hard to turn I am still using like that the truck has 40500 miles, it feels more difficult to turn at low speeds when turning on a street, driving on the freeway is not difficult to control the steering wheel.
The vehicle was in motion on a city street, when the vehicle completely powered off. The steering wheel locked. This occurred on 11/22/2020 and 11/23/2020. The following message is on my dashboard 'steering assist is reduced drive with care.'
