Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING SUCH AS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, THE STEERING LOCKS UP FORCING ME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENS PERIODICALLY IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. I HAVE CHECKED MY POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT IS AT THE FULL MARK. I BELIEVE THE SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A LARGE ENOUGH RESERVOIR WHICH CAUSES THE RACK AND PINION TO LOCK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. *TR
