Description of the problem | Power steering went out during a turn and i almost lost control. Vehicle had to be towed to dealership. Rack and pinion needs to be replaced is what i'm being told from my service department. I'm waiting for vehicle to be fixed but am afraid to drive it now. I only had it for 10 days before the incident. I don't know what to do. I fear i may have a crash and it may happen again. I have no trust in driving this unsafe vehicle. I don't understand how this could happen to a vehicle with only 175 miles on it. |
