Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 55MPH WHEN I NOTICED MY STEERING BECOMING VERY TIGHT SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO TURN INTO A PARKING PLACE, MY STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT AND I HAD A HARD TIME TURNING. I WAS WORRIED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK WITH MY POWER STEERING FLUID SO I HAD MY LOCAL GARAGE CHECK IT, THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FULL. WHEN I STARTED TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM, I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND WONDER WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED? MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I HAVE SEEN SOME QUOTE THE REPAIR EXPENSE UP INTO THE THOUSANDS.. *TR
