Consumer Description

ON OUR 08 OUTLOOK, THE POWER STEERING JUST "GAVE OUT", WHENEVER IT FELT LIKE- BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHARP TURN, U TURN, OR GOING ON/OFF AN EXIT RAMP. THERE WAS NO WARNING (GROANING, WHINING, ETC. FROM THE PUMP), YOU SUDDENLY WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP- IT APPARENTLY WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN (????WHY?). I TRIED ALL OF THEIR "FIXES"- FLUSHING THE FLUID OUT WITH NEW, PUTTING SYNTHETIC IN, FILLING SLIGHTLY ABOVE AS RECOMMENDED. IT FINALLY BOILED DOWN TO A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP. RIDICULOUS! *TR
