Power steering suddenly stopped working while I was driving. The vehicle is extremely difficult to navigate but I was able to pull off the road to a safe area. After shutting the car off for 15 minutes and restarting the lack of power steering remained, but there was now a message saying "power steering assist fault". this car has several other electrical problems with regard to the A/C & blower, and also the drivers side window and dome lights work sporadically.

Informed local dealership by email. Told them U/w. part arrived 1 week later, picked up on Saturday morning, had to pay $90.41. I badgered dealership for reimbursement, finally got check at end of December. Still have pics and part.

I purchased my 2010 Mariner 03/26/2013 from a local dealership. While driving at around 35 - 40 mph I noticed a grinding sound and difficulty to increase speed. I then noticed that my left blinker was flashing at a faster speed and the tail light went out. That was replaced. The car then would sporadically go dead and would have to be jumped. I had 3 different service shops look at the vehicle and found no issues. I did replace the battery and it appeared to run fine for about 3 - 4 days. It is now sporadically dead and the local dealership will look into the issue on 8/7/2013. Undetermined problem at this time.
