| 2006 | STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM | IN WEEK LEADING UP TO THE PROBLEM, STEERING WAS SOFT WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, AND TIGHT WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT. A SHORT TIME LATER, WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ON BOARD DISPLAY LISTED ISSUE AS POWER STEERING.
