What owners report
“I was driving and stopped at the red light when the green light came on I was unable to make a left turn as the steering wheel locked on me and I had to be pushed to the side by a few construction guys. I I could drive it but make no turns.”
An owner's complaint to NHTSA about the steering, Oct 2016
“As I was driving out of the parking garage I could not turn the wheel of my vehicle and almost hit a cement pillar. A light popped on that had a steering wheel and a exclamation mark. This message had never popped up before. I looked in my owners manual and found it was the power steering sign.”
