Car last year began randomly displaying VSA code during inclement weather. Took vehicle for diagnostic and report showed APS sensor issues. Replaced acceleration pedal. Car then lost power steering. Replaced pump. Can began having loss of power while using cruise control and steering would stiffen. Yet, only during inclement weather while driving. The Engine light with emmisions control warning would display and the clear on its on usually over night. Code diagnostics found possible 02 sensor or catalytic converter issues. Roughly six months later car cut off and wouldn't start replaced rack and pinion during to link at main connection.

My car has been stalling during various speeds which almost caused an accident on several occasion. After stalling, I am able to start the car without any issues but will constantly stall on the go. There is currently a recall (NHTSA # 13V-093) on the vehicle's ECU for the eastern U.S. due to corrosion. My car is currently in guam which could highly have the same result as this recall due to salt water corrosion. Please look into this matter and possibly extend the recall to other parts of the state and territories within the coastal areas.
