Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION INITIALLY WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I WENT TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE FROM THOSE REPAIRS AND AS I DROVE HOME APPROX 3 MILES I FELT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE'S RESPONSE, THEN THE STEERING GRABBED AS I MADE A RIGHT TURN AND DID NOT RELEASE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO STRIKE A VEHICLE. THE STEERING WAS "GRABBING" OR STICKING TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT, I RETURNED TO THE DEALER, THEIR INSPECTION DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING RACK "LET LOOSE", THE DEALER PUT IN 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS, AND TWO STEERING RACKS AND FLUSHED THE SYSTEM MULTIPLE TIMES. THE THIRD RACK SEEMED TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE HOWEVER THE DEALER COULD NOT SAY HOW OR WHY THIS HAPPENED OR WHAT CAUSED THIS ALTHOUGH I DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE STEERING PRIOR TO DROPPING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WORK. THE DEALER STATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS ISSUE AND COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY EXPLANATIONS TO THE CAUSE. *TR
