Consumer Description

STEERING PROBLEM. THE CAR WOULD DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THEN IT WOULD STEER FINE. THIS WENT ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I MOVED THE CAR ONE MORNING AND THERE WAS A BOLT ON THE GROUND WHICH LOOKED AS IF IT WAS FROM THE CAR. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE BOLTS ON THE RACK AND PINION WERE LOOSE AND ONE OF THE BOLTS WAS THE ONE I FOUND ON THE GROUND. THE RACK AND PINION COMING LOOSE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
