| Steering problems |
On the dash the amber abs light came on as well as the red brake light and they stayed on for a couples and I took it to the shop and they said it was the "steering angle sensor" and they changed it and the lights came back on a day later and they took another look from head to toe and they couldn't find a reason why the abs and brake lights were staying on and now its only intermit after four weeks, it cost me about $644. 00 dollars for the sas plus $130. 00 for diagnostic plus renter car and the lights still come on (meineke auto shop. ) on the screen of the car it states something wrong with the electrical vacuum pump but they checked and the scanner is not pulling nothing up and the shop end up stating, it was probably an "electrical issue. " I believe with the miles the car has, it shouldnt had needed any new sensor and there is a possible electrical defect or bad wiring. Car has no accidents and drives fine and straight but the lights come on a few times a week but never when im driving only when its first turned on.
While driving 65 mph,I lost power steering control then the electronics system shut down momentarily then it restarted itself and made to destination. Next morning, I tried to drive the car but the steering wasn't working. Later on that day ,I checked it again then it worked.
