The power steering goes in and out making it impossible to control when it happens. Very difficult to turn the wheel, issue # 2 temperature control goes from set temperature to full heat unassisted. You cannot turn the high temperature setting off. It is unbearable to drive in car with heat on full blast. Both of these issues can happen in motion or when stopped
