IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS AT ANY SPEED AND EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR NOT EVEN A MILE BEFORE IT TOTALLY SHUTS OFF.

WHILE DEIVING A MESSAGE ON THE DASH STATED TO STOP WHILE IT IS SAFE. THE CAR PROCEDED TO STALL. IT COULD NOT BE STARTED. I HAPPEN TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND REQUIRED TO CALL FOR HELP TO PUSH THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR LATER THAT DAY TO DRIVE IT HOME. THIS IS THE FORTH TIME IT HAPPENED OVER AN 18 MONTH PERIOD. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON A HIGH SPEED ROAD DURING ANY OF THESE EVENTS. I DID HAVE THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AFTER THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO THE MCHANIC. REPAIRS WERE MADE BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS TIME OR WHETHER I SHOULD CONTINUE USING THE VEHICLE.

AFTER A SHORT 30 MINUTE VISIT TO OUR VET, MY WIFE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. RESTART OF THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE, SO SHE CAREFULLY DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME 10 MILES. LUCKILY IT FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION. DEALER DIAGNOSIS INDICATED A B3377 FAULT CODE (EPS MOTOR MALFUNCTION), AND TOLD ME THE STEERING RACK NEEDED REPLACEMENT ($2200).
