STEERING
JUST OUT OF NOWHERE ONE DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING I MADE A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND SUDDENLY WHEN I RESUMED DRIVING THE LIGHT INDICATING 'POWER STREERING' CAME ON AND MY POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. NOW THE POWER STEERING WORKS INTERMITTENTLY BUT ONLY AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON AND ONLY WORKS FOR A SHORT TIME. I FEEL LIKE IT'S GETTING WORSE THE LONGER THE PROBLEM CONSISTS .

STEERING
WHILE VEHICLE IS ON AND OPERATING AT SPEEDS OF 5 MPH TO 65 MPH THE POWER STEERING WILL COMPLETELY GO OUT MAKING CONTROL OF THE CAR MANUALLY. ONCE I AM ABLE TO REGAIN POSITIVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE I AM ABLE TO PUT INTO PARK TURN OFF IGNITION. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING IS ENGAGED BACK TO COMPLETE NORMAL AS IF THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM. AGAIN I START UP THE VEHICLE AND START OPERATING IT DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION AND OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE IN MOTION THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT SENDING THE VEHICLE INTO MANUAL CONTROL MAKING IT EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3-5 TOTAL TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 5 MPH ALL THE UP TO 65 MPH WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE

STEERING
MY VEHICLE JERKS TO THE LEFT WHEN BREAKING AND I FIND IT VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING IT. SO I LOOKED MY VEHICLE UP AND IT HAS A FEW RECALLS INCLUDING THE STEERING WHICH COULD BE CAUSED FRONT HE JOINT BEARING IT SAYS WHICH CAN FAIL AND PREMATURELY CAUSE SEPARATION OF THE U-JOINT AND A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHICH IS A HIGH RISK OF A CRASH. SO I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT MY DORMAN OR USE THIS WEBSITE TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND COULDN'T MOVE, I EVENTUALLY GOT IT TO A GAS STATION WHERE I PURCHASED SOME POWER STEERING FLUID BECAUSE THE LIGHT SHOWED UP UNDER THE TIME CLOCK ON THE RADIO; COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A SPOT TO PUT THE FLUID. IM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING, IT EVEN CAUSED MY ALIGNMENT TO GO BAD AND MULTIPLE FLATS TIRES. WITH THE LAST FLAT TIRE, MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL, JUST RANDOMLY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON TO BE ABLE TO SCREEN THE VEHICLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED ON THE POWER STEERING.
