Description of the problem | Following my low tire pressure indicator coming on, i noticed the power steering issue as i was pulling into a parking spot, and my steering wheel made a squeaking or whining sound. Later, while driving on a city street, as i began to make a turn, my steering wheel started hesitating, and making a gear stripping noise; the steering column locked up and when i tried to turn the wheel it made a loud squeaking sound. Also, my transmission shutters whenever i accelerate and slow down. The transmission issue was initially repaired via a software update before the warranty expired, but it has since started to malfunction again. |
