While driving my car I was notified that I no longer had power steering and my airbags needed to be serviced. I immediately lost power steering while driving at 65 mph. To add to it my windshield wipers went out and all my center console buttons too, including AC and defrost. After much research I was leaning toward the ignition recall that I just had done a couple months earlier, but after I took it in and the had all the diagnostics done on it I was told that it was a short in the AC Actuator that was causing all the fuses that operated everything else to blow out. I'm glad I wasn't in the middle of turning when I lost power steering, it could have been pretty bad and with no airbags, a crash could have been much worse.
