Consumer Description

MY STEERING ALL OF A SUDDEN WAS LOOSE AND SCARY TO DRIVE. I CHECKED MY POWERS STEERING FLUID TO FIND THAT I WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT. SO I FILLED IT. ONE DAY LATER IT WAS DOWN AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND FOUND OUT MY RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED, AT 75000 MILES. I HAVE HAD PLENTY OF VEHICLES OVER 150000 MILES AND NEVER REPLACED A RACK AND PINION. THIS JUST SEEMS TO BIZARRE FOR ME. ALSO MY TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES WONT GO INTO GEAR WHEN I SHIFT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT WILL CLICK IN. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS COLD OR WARM EITHER. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A SHOP THEY DROVE IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM BUT IT STILL DOES IT. *NM
