WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND RUNNING THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC WILL BE ON ON THE DASH AND LOCK UP THE STEERING WHEEL AND I CAN'T TURN OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. WHEN THIS OCCURRED I USED TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD BE OFF. BUT RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING A LOT MORE OFTEN. I WAS PARKED WITH CAR RUNNING AND THE POWER STEERING ESC WOULD STAY ON EVEN AFTER TURNING IT ON AND OFF. THEN THE NO TRACTION LIGHT APPEARED. ONCE THE POWER STEERING CONTROL WAS OFF I WOULD DRIVE MY CAR AND TURN IT OFF BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WOULD BE ON AGAIN SO I CAN'T STEER MY CAR. THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC HAS EVEN TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING AND BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND HAD FOUND THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF 2010 MODELS, AND SOME HAVE EVEN GOT INTO ACCIDENTS AND INJURED. THE 2010 MODELS DO NOT HAVE RECALLS BUT THE 2005-2009 MODELS DO FOR THE SAME REASONS. I WOULD ADVISE THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER AND NOTIFY ALL WHO HAVE 2010 MODELS.

WHEN I START THE CAR AND RUNNING (PARK) , THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC SHOWS ON THE DASH AND LOCKS UP THE STEERING SO I CAN'T TURN OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT HAS LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN BEFORE BEFORE TO. WHENEVER THIS HAS HAPPENED, ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO TURN OFF THE POWER STEERING CONTROL ESC. BUT RECENTLY THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE PARKED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING CONTROL WOULD NOT GO AWAY EVEN AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND ON. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2010 MODEL AND ARE GETTING INJURED. I WOULD ADVISE THIS PROBLEM BEING RECALLED, WHILE ALL OTHER MODELS FROM 2005-2009 HAVE BEEN RECALLED, AND 2010 SEEMS TO BE THE WORSE.

IT STARTED WITH THE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN EVEN AFTER NEW BULBS. THIS CAR SEEMS TO HAVE MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH A CHAIN OF EVENTS HAS TURNED INTO STEERING PROBLEMS AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD CLICKING AND FLASHING TO THE RYTHYM OF THE CLICK. WHEN THE DASHBOARD GOES BLACK THE WHEEL WONT TURN AT ALL. I KNOW OF SOMEONE WITH THE SAME CAR WHO HAS THE SAME HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. EASY TO GET PULLED OVER FOR THAT ONE.
