POWER STEERING IS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MODEL YEAR, BUT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED. I SEE SEVERAL ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER OWNERS THAT WEREN'T IN THE RECALL. I LIVE IN A MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WITH WINDY ROADS AND IF THE POWER STEERING QUITS WHEN ZI DON'T EXPECT IT, I WILL VEER OFF THE ROAD AND HAVE TO JERK IT BACK ON.
