Description of the problem | Right around 36000 miles my power steering pump had to be replaced because fluid was visible beneath the car and the source was determined to be the high pressure hoses and pump. At nearly 83,480 miles when the combo switch had to be replaced it was noticed there was a significant rack and pinion leak. I believe the earlier issue is somehow connected to early failure of the rack and pinion. Regardless, the tech said there was a 2016 with 52,000 miles on it that needed to have the rack and pinion replaced. He admitted that there is likely a fault in the part causing them to deteriorate before they should. |
