Consumer Description

SIMPLY DRIVING TO THE STORE ON MY DAY OFF THE POWER STEERING ABRUPTLY STOPPED, MAKING THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK HOME SLOWLY. I PARKED IT AND RESEARCHED THE ISSUE. FIRST I FOUND OUT HOW EXPENSIVE A NEW PUMP WAS. THEN I HAD TO WAIT TILL I COULD AFFORD TO BUY ONE. BUT EVEN THE NEW ONE DOES NOT WORK. I INSTALLED IT YESTERDAY 18 APR 2015. I FOLLOWED STRICT INSTRUCTIONS AND MADE SURE EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN AND SECURED. BUT WHEN I LOWERED THE CAR AND STARTED IT THE NEW PUMP DID NOT OPERATE AT ALL, HENCE THE CAR IS STILL UNUSABLE. *TR
