It's good thing my wife was not driving the car she could have been hurt or hurt someone else. So again I took the car back to sisbarro in las cruces, nm.

While attempting to turn a corner, the power steering cancelled out in the car and vehicle almost hit the median and another car in the next lane due to the fact that the power steering goes away making it very difficult to turn the vehicle; I am not a young woman so it is not easy to manuver the turning of the car when the power steering goes away and live on a limited budget so the manufacturer of the vehicle should make the necessary repair as the problem was not divulged to the public when these automobiles were put on sale and this is a bad problem which is now occurring more and more;.
