While driving at 60-65 mph on a 4 lane highway the car took a hard turn left. When I attempted to correct it was if I had no steering what so ever. This resulted in a collision and spin out with my car and the other car. My dealer said this can't happen, but it did . The car has not been repaired as I wish to find the cause.
Consumer states that while driving, the vehicle suddenly lost the power steering without warning and almost lost control of the vehicle. Dealer contacted. Ts the consumer also stated that there was smoke coming from under the hood and a fluid leak. Scc.
