Dealer informs that 2 other vehicles are in for repair for the same failure. All three vehicles came in within a 2 week period. I have been given an estimate of time to repair ranging from 2 to 4 weeks because of unavailability of parts. Dealer's service department feels that the car is unsafe to drive. Steering wheel experiences "minor jerks or tics". service writter says this is because of errant electrical signals being sent to power assist.
