The power steering light will remain light and the power steering will not work. If the power steering light turns off, there are several loud clunking noises and the steering feels as if the wheels have hit something when turned. This is a persistent problem and has been occurring for quite some time and keeps getting worse. I believe there is a TSB already on this issue.
Power steering failure. Drove car and then parked. Returned to car and upon starting noticed that the power steering failure light was on and had no power steering when driving. (system is electric power steering) drove car to dealer with no power steering. Following day, when dealer attempted to perform corrective service and diagnose problem the power steering is working. Therefore they have released the vehicle as not having any service problem. I have no confidence that the problem will not occur again and potentially cause an accident.
