Typical steering symptoms owners report
- Vehicle suddenly loses power steering assist at a stop, showing 'Engine Stopped Steering Power Low' with a press-the-brake-to-restart message and buzzer sound, sometimes repeating after rain or humid conditions.
- Steering wheel is off-center, causing the car to pull left even when the wheel is held straight, or drift right when centered.
- Steering assist or lane-keeping system jolts the wheel unexpectedly on the highway when lane markings are faded or a wide vehicle passes, contributing to loss of control.
- Sudden steering malfunction alert at highway speed causes uncontrollable swerving and, in at least one case, a crash.
- Multiple owners report being notified of recall campaign 23V480000 for a steering issue but could not get the repair completed because replacement parts were unavailable for an extended period.
