IT WAS RAINING OUT AND I WAS DECREASING SPEED PULLING INTO A TURNING LANE, THE CAR LOST STEERING AND BRAKES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT.
THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ESP LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR MONTHS, DEALER STATES THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE CLOCKSPRING, BUT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE.
