My steering doesn't work all the time and it is becoming more difficult to turn the wheel when driving.
Was driving on free way, as I was accelerating I lost all power and steering. . The engine stalled out and I had to veer off to side so that I wouldn't cause an accident.
At time of purchase, a vibration from the front of vehicle occurs upon turning, manufacturer replaced entire steering assembly after 5k miles. Other Volvo Xc90 owners have had similar problems and repairs of steering assembly at this time I would like to bring the issue to nstb as it may reflect potential safety issues if not repaired.
