What owners report
Excerpts of owner complaints in the original wording. Owner statements not verified by the regulator; personal data removed.
The steering gear has now suffered a total internal electronic failure at only 33,000 miles, completely disabling the power steering. The vehicle is actively throwing hard internal fault codes U3000 and U0428 congruent to the recall.
Yes. Mil's include but not limited to: B10F1:14-0a, P0303:00af, P0316:00-2f, C1963-20, U0428-f0, B1B48:01-8a, U0401:68-08, C1B00:62-0b, U0428:20, C1278:20 and B1596:20.
Several codes came up and were addressed but did not fix the problem. Codes were U0131, U0418, U0131-87, U0415 and U0428. No issue until car was serviced for the latest recall. Car with dealer. Say it's a complete electrical system repair.
