I was driving on a road at about 35 MPH, I signaled to turned right and my vehicle went dead(the engine stopped-no steering or brakes.) fortunately,no one was driving behind me. I came to a halt and tried starting the engine multiple times, but all that happened was the dashboard lights would flash. Finally, I tried moving the turn signal up and down and it started! Since then this has happened multiple times. This should not happen on a low mileage car or any car! I have almost gotten into multiple accidents!

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 buick regal. While the contact was driving approximately 55 MPH, the engine suddenly stalled with the loss of power steering. There was no prior warning. The engine restarted and the power steering began to function normally. The failures continuously occurred. The catalytic converter was replaced twice by the dealer. Also, the fuel pump had been replaced by an independent mechanic. The failures persisted after the repairs were performed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired for the recent failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000. The VIN was unavailable.

I was driving on the highway and turned my blinker on to pass a vehicle when the car shut the power off and on to the gas.while I did that the all the lights on my dash were blinking when I turned back in to the other lane I had turned my blinker back on. Started doing it again. I got to an exit to turn around to go home so I turned my blinker back on and the car shut down on my while I was turning a sharpe corner. So I had no power steering. I started it back up but when I got down the road I had to turn again so I turned my blinker on and it had did it again. I noticed I had to turn my hazards on to get home, and when I did that they lights didn't blink on the dash. I made it home and checked all the fuses but that wasn't the problem. I can't start my car now and the lights still blink on the dash even when the key is just on the on position.

Experience an intermittent loss of power steering assist when making left turns,usually at low speeds. When trying to turn left out of a parking space experience higher resistance or in a few cases assists towards the right. If this happens while the vehicle is moving, a crash could result.
