Description of the problem | I was just driving home from work and the power steering just went out, i did safely make it home and got the car in the garage. It has been parked since it seems the power steering comes and goes. I don't know what the problem may be for sure, but i have already had the fan assembly replaced due to it would not cut off, and killed my battery, so of course i had to replace the battery. I am taking the car in for a estimate for the steering, but it seems this is a common problem and it needs to be recalled. It cause someone to get hurt or even killed. *kb |
