I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH DOWN HILL ON A CITY STREET, WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO FLASH A POWER STEERING ERROR MESSAGE, I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BRAKE/STEER THE VEHICLE AS NORMAL WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE ALLOWED ME TO GET TO A PLACE OF SAFETY WITH EXTREME DIFFICULTY STEERING AND BRAKING. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND SHUT OFF STILL FLASHING THE WARNING MESSAGE. ONCE THE VEHICLE STOPPED I COULD NO LONGER START THE VEHICLE.
