Takata recall after completing the "interim repair" the cars power steering will intermittently go out without warning, or pull to the right electronically and forcefully with no notice, this is a seriously dangerous problem as, in addition to the car pulling hard right without notice, sometimes while correcting for the pull the power steering comes on without notice forcing the steering correction to swerve left. Also the abs and tcl lights turn on an off intermittently since the ¿interim repair¿ . The power-steering will go in and out while stopped, in motion in either city or highway, and while going in a straight line or while turning. ¿ this is going to kill someone.
