Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The first time the power steering failed was when i was exiting off a highway rest stop. When leaving the stop, the power steering worked again. For a couple of months, incidents of stiffness became more frequent especially at the end of my commute home from work. Three months later it lacks power steering full time. After all i've read about this online, my concern is that the cost of the repair may be around $1300. |
