Eclipse

While turning corner, sterring goes out, very difficult to control car and make turn. Once turn is completed steering seems fine again. This is a intermittent problem. Have taken to the deal for repair but they state it needs to happen while "they" are driving the vehicle. In the last three weeks problem has happened 6 times. Also complaint about drivers outside door handle fell off while opening door. Again took to dealer but extended warranty didn't cover so I had to pay to buy new handle and get painted. Very expensive!!! S
