What owners wrote
Steering freeze up on me son hit an electric pole head on rolled over few times. The front air bags did not deploy and the left back tire was deployed with the rotor. This happened out of the city limits coming into town.
Electronic power steering went out when taking an off ramp, transitioning from a cruising speed of 65 MPH. Very difficult to navigate the turn and could have easily resulted in an accident if it had occurred in a heavy traffic situation or in adverse weather conditions. Turned the vehicle off, sat for 15 minutes, started and the condition was gone. Took vehicle straight to dealer for repairs.
