VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. WARNING LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD ABOUT LOST POWER ASSIST. I MANAGED TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TO STOP. AFTER FIRST RESTART THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY, BUT AFTER WAITING 15 MINUTES AND RESTARTING AGAIN, IT DID.

I WAS TAKING MY HUSBAND TO WORK. WE PULLED OVER AT A GAS STATION. I STARTED MY CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO PULL OUT OF THE STORE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THEN THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ADVANCE TRACTION SERVICE LIGHT. I STARTED LOOKING THROUGH THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND THE INTERNET FOR TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS ON WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG. AS I SEARCHED THROUGH THE INTERNET I NOTICED A TON OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME CAR! IT SEEMED I WAS FORTUNATE SINCE I WAS PULLED OVER AT A STORE.... BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE WRECKED AND EVEN BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS HASN'T ALREADY BEEN RECALLED, BUT IT'S VERY UPSETTING THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE MADE A COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! I HOPE THAT SOMEONE HAS THE DESCENCY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SOON BEFORE IT AFFECTS ANOTHER LIFE.
