The vehicle has approximately 40,000 miles. The thermostat and/or coolant temperature sensor malfunctioned, causing the warning message “Steering Assist Is Reduced, Drive With Care” to appear. This condition raises a safety concern because the malfunction affects or appears to affect the vehicle’s steering-assist system and could make the vehicle more difficult to safely control. I believe this issue warrants investigation by NHTSA and consideration for a safety recall.
