Summary of Complaint
I HAD BOTH ACTUATORS REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO. RECENTLY AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL WENT 90 DEGREES RIGHT AS I WAS DRIVING OVER 60 MPH, WHILE TRACKING STRAIGHT, AND ALL THE COMPUTER SENSOR WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING--BRAKES, POWER STEERING, PAWS, LANE DEPARTURE, ETC. VERY SCARY. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. TOOK TO DEALER SERVICE TODAY, AND TOLD ACTUATORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND PERHAPS THE CONTROL UNIT. REPAIR XPENSIVE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, PARTICULARLY IF ONE ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT STEERING WHEEL OFF CENTER SITUATION.
