Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON SUBURBAN STREETS IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, THERE WAS A SUDDEN WHIRRING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. UNDER HIGHER SPEEDS OR MORE TRAFFIC CONGESTION, LOSS OF POWER STEERING COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. POWER STEERING LOSS WAS CAUSED BY A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING FLUID THAT WAS LEAKING FROM THE STEERING GEAR. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR YET. DUE TO FIRE HAZARD FROM LEAKING FLUID AND NO POWER ASSIST IN THE STEERING, VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED. *JB
