Consumer Description

DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, FOR ABOUT 20 MILES. PARKED THE CAR. TURNED ON CAR AFTER IT WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT FOR ABOUT 1.5 HOURS. AS WE ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT OF OUR SPOT, IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING. SECONDS LATER, THE WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED THAT THERE WAS A POWER STEERING FAILURE, CHECK THE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM. WE ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF TO NO AVAIL. WE ADDED 3 BOTTLES OF POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT DIDN'T SEEM TO FILL UP THE TANK NOR DID IT HELP THE POWER STEERING. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY TOLD US THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
