Typical steering symptoms owners report

  • Owners report sudden loss of power steering and power brakes while the engine stays running or randomly shuts off, sometimes while backing up, turning, or driving in traffic.
  • Some describe the steering wheel needing to be held several degrees off-center to keep the vehicle traveling straight, with dealer visits failing to fix the drift.
  • Others describe the steering suddenly feeling loose or sloppy, as if a tire went flat, followed by the steering wheel no longer matching the direction of the wheels.
  • Several complaints describe the engine cutting off unexpectedly at various speeds, taking power steering and brakes with it and forcing the driver to coast or use the emergency brake.
  • A few owners report dealers and mechanics finding no stored fault codes despite repeated occurrences of the stalling and steering loss.
