My vehicle's electrical power steering has gone completely out. It went out once while I was fully stopped at a red light and another time while I was going 70mph on the highway, resulting in a complete loss of steering in the vehicle. While the power steering was still working somewhat, the steering wheel would jitter/shake left and right (mainly to the left). The vehicle's power steering would also occasionally be out when the vehicle is started and would usually come back on when the vehicle is restarted a few times. The vehicle is currently not safe to drive.

While driving on a street and also on the highway my power steering warning will appear on the info display and all my gauges such as gas and speed will fluctuate with the needle constantly going up and down. I can not tell how much gas I have or the speed I am going. The car then seems to become jerky in its movements so I pull over and turn it off and wait a few minutes, but then it continues to happen moments later. I see that there has been a recall for power steering however my VIN shows I have no outstanding recalls at this time.

Power steering notification comes on immediately when car is started. While stoped the steering wheel jerks from left to right. While driving the steering wheel continues to jerk from side to side, moving the front wheels with it causing the car to swerve left and right. Jerking from left to right becomes worse with speeds greater that 50 mph

The power steering would randomly loose power while driving down the road causing it to be hard to steer. I almost rearended someone cause I couldn't steer the car to the left. The radio started to display " power steering " when it would lock up. Now it is doing it almost daily.

Miles 99,543 when I came back out the store I turn my car on to experience my steering wheel was harder to turn then usual. I turn my car off and on and the problem was still there. I went to advance auto to get a bottle of fluid and find out my steering wheel is electric and the recall that was on it expired a few years ago ! my concern is what if I spend my money to get it fix and the problem occur again. Anothee issue is that my service air bag pops up across the radio sometimes

When steering wheel is started making a whining noise.. checked power steering fluid, added power steering fluid & steering became stiff almost unturnable. About 40 miles later rechecked power steering fluid N it wasn't reading on the dipstick again. Then noticed something leaking under vehicle on the driver's side kinda close to wheel. Almost thinking the pump has a hole or something in it. I'm not for sure on that but will probably B bring it to a mechanic tomorrow to get it checked out.
