Power sterring went out while driving with the POWER STERRING message coming up. When I start the car and beingin driving again it is fine again for about a mile then goes out again with message showing up again. Thought it might be a fuse but now don't think so. I have also heard that there have been some recall issues with this model. Am I just going to have to bite the bullet and take it to the dealership? Just wondered if anyone has had the same problem or has any suggestions. Thanks!
