Consumer Description

1997 CHEVROLET LUMINA. POWER STEERING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY, AND STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. PROBLEM OCCURRED SUDDENLY IN A PARKING LOT LUCKILY.

I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RACK AND PINION AND HE HAS SEEN IT OFTEN IN THIS MODEL.*AK
