Thanks OP. My steering was acting up last week and the thought crossed my mind of what to do if it failed. You just answered my silent question.

I think preventive maintenance should be taken seriously cos steering failure don't just happen.

Tech guys, what can make the steering system to fail?

Just look at the direction of your village and say to them, finally, una plan work.
Then where art thy God? And your magical chart Jesus?
The same way you care for brake, same to your steering.
On regular maintenance, there is a bolt that locks the steering wheel onto the steering rod,, constantly steering, can lead to little by little loosing of this bolt, just like your type wheel bolt.
In doubt ask your mechanic to check at another visit

I like the summary,only the use of horn and a few others seems to be left out there.
Re: What To Do If Your Steering Fails While Driving by DanielGb(m): 11:59am On Oct 03, 2016
All the above will only work for break failure.
Re: What To Do If Your Steering Fails While Driving by sniperwolf(m): 12:08pm On Oct 03, 2016
This stuff almost took my life on the 1st of August. In my own case the steering was turning, but the car refused to move in the direction of my steering. At about 120-125km/hr I ran into 3 stationary vehicles. Thank God my seat belt was fastened

Don’t panic

Reduce your speed

Move to the side of the road

Don’t put off the engine

Do a brief check

Carry out routine checks

HAha

It will respond partially.

Even when a car with ABS fails brake. The brake will still respond slightly.

Infact, i have travelled with failed brakes before.
