I believe this defect is not a result of any habit of myself as the driver but rather a defect in the workmanship of the vehicle and the dealer should be subject to a recall. Car is now out of warranty (58,000 miles). Estimated cost to myself was $1,000-2,000. Was told it was a defect in the steering column requiring a complete replacement. I took the car into the dealer for diagnosis. This is done without the aid of power steering and can be very dangerous in traffic and at high speeds as there is no way of "knowing" when the defect will occur. Occasionally, I have been unable to restart the car while in motion and have had to pull off to the side of the road. The dashboard will light up "steering column defect" and prompt a warning light for the steering column as if it were locked from a car alarm prompt. The fix is to shift the car into neutral and attempt to restart by removing and reinserting the key until it starts again. Suddenly the car is just dead and rolling along at extreme speeds. This defect causes the engine to stall immediately, the loss of power steering and the loss of all power controls at speeds at least up to 70 mph. Symptom #2) major safety issue! car will lose all power without warning at highway speeds. After moving the steering wheel back and forth repeatedly, reopening the door several times and attempting to start the push ignition 5-10 times it will eventually start and run. Symptom #1) car will not start or if it does start it will immediately stall and steering column will lock.
