Driving on highway like normal and all of a sudden, as the dash info alerted, the power steering went out. I slowed down and then it came back, all of a sudden! Now imagine fighting no power steering, then without indication it comes back! As I got to destination turning into parking lot it suddenly goes out again! Luckily no one coming opposite direction! This happened intermittently a few more times before it completely went out! Took to dealer, confirmed Rack and Pinion failed and part is backordered! Found under my own investigating that part of problem stems from battery terminal connection could be part of problem! Dealership replaced the power bank for Rack and Pinion also! Over this ordeal, I'm a big guy, so to have this issue happen was a struggle! Couldn't imagine if this happened to a female(NO OFFENSE), an older person, or younger unexperienced driver!
