While driving my vehicle at least 3 times the power steering goes out and makes the car unable to drive and is very scary while on the road. A few light indicates flash on my dash and the radio resets. I even saw my radio reset in between the major episodes while driving 65 mph. I was traveling at the 3 times it happened roughly 25-30 mph and was turning the vehicle. I located a recall I believe # 6010h for steering: electric power assist system, but it is for vehicles manufactured after April 2, 2017. My car was assembled on November 7, 2006. It states the power steering pump and lines need to be replaced. I cannot understand why my car manufactured 5 months prior to the recall is not covered as this could cause a severe accident where I do not feel safe driving with my kid in the car. Please update the range of the recall to save more lives.
My car just got to where it won't steer and seeing it won't steer it won't start now . If u tap on the steering pump the car will start but once shut off it won't start again. .
