| 2006 | STEERING | I WAS DRIVING TO PICK MY KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL WHEN MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, SO I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND PURCHASED SOME POWER STEERING FLUID BUT THIS CAR DOESN'T TAKE POWER STEERING FLUID BECAUSE ITS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WAS OK. I WAS DRIVING BACK OUT TO THE SCHOOL THIS MORNING AND MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AND ONCE I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON IT HAS BEEN FINE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SO NO RECALL AS BEEN ISSUED BUT I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR |
