Power Steering went out....next day then took to local dealer....but then steering worked......paid $185 to diagnose......Says there is a fault code showing up...suggested to replace part for $1600. Part needs to be ordered because it is not in stock...Well since it worked....i drove it another 5000 miles & then it went out again.
Dealer says it is a "safety" issues but I still have to pay for the part. In California the Lemon laws apply, I need a good attorney to get my $$$ back... If it is a safety issue because steering can lock up--it should be covered by the best warranty in the business.
