I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN I GET AN ALERT OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE LESS THAN 1 MINUTE MY POWER STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY HARD DIFFICULT TO TURN I HAD PULL TO THE CLOSET PARKING I COULD FINE. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST COMPLETE FAILURE AROUND 100K MILES. POWER STEERING WAS INTERMITTENT FOR ABOUT A YEAR. WOULD START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT WORK, IT WOULD ALSO INDICATE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULTS ON THE DASH. TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WOULD BE FINE. ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED AND NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AS I WAS IN A TURN. IT HAS NOT WORKED SINCE.
