Consumer Description

I GOT INTO MY CAR TO LEAVE THE GROCERY STORE ABOUT AN HOUR AGO, WENT TO BACK UP AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME BUT IT WAS INSANELY DIFFICULT TO STEER BEING THAT I'M A SMALL FEMALE WITH LITTLE UPPER BODY STRENGTH. THIS IS A 2008 SCION XB WITH 82K MILES ON IT. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL NOW AND THEN SUDDENLY THIS??? MY HUSBAND IS GOING TO LOOK AT IT BUT AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, LOOKS LIKE IT'LL BE AN EXPENSIVE FIX.. *TR
