Steering · at 7,220 miles · reported Nov 8, 2017
While driving approximately 20-30mph foot on the break I was making a right turn into a parking lot and the steering stopped working. Car was still running but steering was dead no warning lights were lit on the dash after about 4 seconds the steering came back to normal. This is the second time this happened to me. I purchased the subaru new it has 7,220 miles on it. The first time it happened same scenario car had about 5k miles on it. Thought it was a fluke didn't think nothing of it until today it happened on a busy road luckily I was able to keep the car under control. Talked to dealer…
