Description of the problem | While driving power steering completely failed. The wheel jerked a bit but i was able to maintain control and pull over. When i attempted to turn the wheel i had no power steering at all. I took to my mechanic and was told the steering rack needed to be replaced at a cost of $2000. Car as 100k miles. My concern is there was no codes or fault displayed on instrument cluster. The next day i drove the car and the power steering was fine. The next day driving it failed again. Still no service needed light or notification on instrument cluster. Car is unsafe to drive for someone not strong enough to turn the wheel without power steering. |
