What owners wrote
I was driving my daughter to school when I noticed the inside of my car started sparking near the dashboard then a few mins later my wheel locked up I couldn't turn and almost crashed. I put power steering fluid in but that didn't help . Also had someone look at it and they said its a problem with the bearing underneath the hood is also sparking when I start the car.
The steering in my car is very loose. The car turns at the slightest shift of the steering wheel. It's difficult to control on the interstate.
