Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | I turned my vehicle on and had no power steering. The power steering light was on, indicating that there was a problem. I was able to drive it to the dealer where they told me the power steering torque had gone bad. To repair the vehicle, i would need to have the power steering rack replaced - over $2k! Although my vehicle is less than 2 years old, i have passed the 35k mile warranty. This is a pretty painful bill to be forced to pay with such a new car!! Why is this not recalled if so many are having issues with this?!! |
