    I had a Vauxhall Meriva that had an electric steering rack and it developed a common fault that Vauxhall tried to deny for years where the power assist would stop working every now and then when turning, I can tell you that when your turning a corner and you suddenly lose all power assist and can’t turn the wheel (as without it the steering was so heavy it would barely move)it was terrifying, I can’t imagine what it would be like if it was fly by wire and a component failed or even just had a glitch like all electronics can do! ?

    Not for me thanks!
