Consumer Description

WHENEVER I LEAVE MY HOUSE TO DRIVE MY CAR TO WORK EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN IT IS AROUND 5 OR 6 DEGREES. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON, THE POWER STEERING BECOMES VERY TOUGH AND HARD TO MOVE. I WOULD HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR TO HAVE THE WARNING LIGHT GO OFF. SOME TIMES THE LIGHT TAKES A FEW TRIES BEFORE THE LIGHT GOES OFF. *TR
