What owners wrote
While driving near my home the power steering failed with no warning and the service advancetrac message came on. I have the car exactly 2 years and have only a little over 11,000 miles on it! Thank goodness I wasn't on a highway and I was only blocks from my home.
Car was parked. Started car and put transmission in reverse and noticed there was no power steering. Warning on dash "power steering assist failure". Only 37,777 miles on car. Previous service records on car stated field service action 15n01 but ignored by dealer at least twice during warranty period. Now out of warranty.
