Owner's description

Within the last 2 months, I have had momentary steering problems at low speed. They continue to become worse with time, no longer safe to drive. Dealer has vehicle now and informs me that it will cost $3000 for a known/existing corrosion of electrical connections in the power steering assembly. Via the internet, the steering gear torque sensor cover assembly needs to be replaced. Because this cover assembly has leaked, the wiring harness also has to be replaced. 7 hours of labor, front end alignment, etc! The loss of power steering in a turn has nearly caused several accidents till I got it home. Dealer confirms what I experienced in test drive, internet has many examples of same problem and solution. There are no warnings of impending loss of control, one minute everything is fine, the next you are fighting for control.
