Consumer Description

WHILE MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, MY STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY TIGHT PROBABLY AROUND 20,000 MILES WHICH WAS AROUND 2004. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A CRACK IN MY POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR, SO THEY REPLACED IT. THEY ALSO SAID I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO REFILL IT, B/C YOU SHOULD NEVER USE THAT MUCH POWER STEERING FLUID FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO, APRIL 2008, I HAD BRAKES PUT ON AND THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT THAT MY POWER STEERING RESERVOIR WAS LEAKING, YET AGAIN. THE CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT NOW. *TR
