problem #3

Lost power steering as I was leaving my house, making car very difficult to control. Thinking I had a flat tire, I turned around and returned home. Shut down the car, checked the tires (they were fine), restarted it, and power steering returned. This happened twice within a few days.

On the way back home from work, steering felt quite heavy and it kept pulling towards the right side. I initially thought I had a flat tire but the tire pressure was normal. Driving back home on freeway felt very unsafe as it was quite unsteady at speeds greater than 30mph

Steering has been normal until now. Suddenly on two occasions after stopping at a light it was hard to make a left turn. Steering felt as if tire pressure was low. Pressure was not low. This is first time this has occurred. Discovered this is a common complaint on internet searches. Have not driven I3 again since incident.
