Consumer Description

BRACKETS SURROUNDING THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILING IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE SERPENTINE BELT TO POP WHILE DRIVING LEAVING A POWER FAILURE AND ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I NEARLY CRASHED MY VEHICLE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE I COULD NOT STEER TO GET OFF THE ROAD. DOING RESEARCH OVER LAST FEW DATES TALKING TO MECHANICS THIS HAS BEEN SEEN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE PART TO FIX THE BRACKET IS HARD TO FIND. *NM
