Symptoms
After heavy rain, the steering loses its assistance and becomes very heavy, with the steering and engine warning lights on; codes C1593 or C1592.
Possible cause described
Water gets into the electric power steering column and damages its components. FCA has the column replaced (bulletin 19-002-17, November 2017) on Compass cars built from 25/8 to 9/9/2017 for the US.
Check for the garage
Without assistance the steering is dangerous: do not drive on and call for assistance. At the garage, have them read codes C1593 and C1592 and check whether water has got into the column.
