Complaint Description: 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!!! *ak s .
