The failure mileage was 69,110.

Then after just a second or two something would break loose allowing the vehicle to respond to my request. I.e. Turn left or right!

Over thanksgiving I made a 2,500 mile round trip to indiana (all interstate). During the trip, the same thing!! After stopping for a short period, and then back on the road, I noticed I would have to drive a short distance before it began to act up again. It is very pronounced and obvious on interstate driving. …
