Sorry to hear of your trouble USAFA83 and lets hope the shop fixed it.

I was wondering, when you lost your EPS how much control did you have of the steering? Were you able to manhandle it to the side of the road as with the old hydraulic type?

Barely. All seven failures occurred in a two day period, all at low speeds under 5MPH--bascially immediate turns from a dead stop in parking lots or intersections. Unfortunately at speeds that slow, you need the EPS because I could barely turn the wheel at in once case I ended up in the middle of an intersection of a divided road. Fortunately that those speeds it was easy to stop the car, put it in park, and quickly restart. Fair to assume that at higher speeds it would have been easier to manuever the car without the ESP. Pleased to report that it's been four days since the dealer reset the computer and I haven't had any problems.

Thanks USAF for the info, it is appreciated. From your experiance it looks like we can still horse the vehicle to a safe stop should that happen.
Hope your parts come in quickly.
