My car's software has always had a problem where the power steering turns off suddenly while driving, occasionally. It then comes back by itself after 2-3 days. Mechanics just said there was no physical fault that they could fix, so I had to live with it until I had that car.
It was dangerous but I could still steer, and I'd feel when the pump was going off.
This would be even worse.
- sillystuff 3y agoMy Toyota with electric power steering had this seemingly random cutting out issue for a few months before I figured out that the voltage regulator in the alternator was failing. Replacing the alternator fixed the power steering. Hopefully drive by wire steering will be more robust, or it will be a death trap.
