did you go in for your power steering motor recall yet?

 

So i just washed my car and started driving toward the country to run the water off my car when i looked down at the DIC and it shows Power Steering..so i turn into a drive way and my steering is real tight so i park it and shut it off then turn back on and its fine again..drove through town and back home no problems? So should i be worried about this or just brush it off?

 

so does this incident that happened means its about to fail?

i dnt think that has been done to the car...i got it with like 15k miles on it and it was only on a lease before i bought it and it now has alittle over 28k its an 06 but to my knowledge it hasnt been done

 

LOL, it's a recall. call your dealer.

 

Yes, your power steering failed

You hear a chime and "powering steering" shows up on the DIC
be lucky yours didn't go out when you were driving you may notice over time that the steering get a little tighter when you are at slower speeds.

Call your dealer.

 

i was driving when it popped up i was just going in a straight line tho...so even tho im not under warrenty this will be fixed for free? Sorry if thats a newb ? lol

 

so will this msg pop up again or did it just pop up once because the car realized it went bad or is going bad? Sorry for all the ?'s just wanna know alittle more lol

 

Oh you were driving. lol my bad read wrong. It'll be fixed for free since it is a recall. write down your VIN and call the dealer to have them check if its been done. and if it has well... tell them the fix failed. lol

 

Recalls are fixed for free. Has nothing to do with your warranty.
