Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND WENT TO TURN ONTO MY STREET AND POWER STEERING FAILED CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND CAME CLOSE TO HITTING A UTILITY POLE. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED HYDRAULIC PIPING FOR THE POWER STEERING HAD SPRUNG A LEAK. IN SEARCHING FOR A BULLETIN I DISCOVERED #060232014. NHTSA CAMPAIGN#10020769. I HAVE SET AN APPOINTMENT AT A DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR. HOWEVER,THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE HAD FATAL OUTCOME. I BELIEVE THAT THIS GOES BEYOND A SERVICE BULLETIN AND SHOULD BE FURTHER INVESIGATED. LOSS OF LIFE SHOULD NOT BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR. *TR
