During turning at highway speeds the steering will sometimes "lock" or "jam". It has been diagnosed as a failed steering coupler, manufacturer's part number 944 347 027 01 - drive shaft. I have been able to brute force the steering. A woman would not be able to correct the situation, i my humble opinion. No accident has resulted. I have stopped driving the vehicle until this is resolved.

I was driving along in my recently purchased porsche 944, and suddenly the car lost all power and the engine compartment burst into flames without any warning. Needless to say, the entire underhood area is a complete loss. There were no leaks, and the wiring did not have any visible problems. Until you experience something like this, you do not realize just how terrifying it is. *tr
