The power steering was never a problem. I came back from a concert and tried to drive my car home and out of no where my hazards turn on, thought I just accidentally touched the button but that wasn't the case. A few seconds later the service power steering light came on and wouldn't stop making noise but I made it home okay. And then the next day when I started it, it didn't want to move at all and the message on the screen came back up and made a more urgent sound I guess you'd say, but there was never anything wrong with my car, it just stopped working in the middle of me driving home. My VIN number is [XXX] it just wouldn't let me put it in the other box. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
