Consumer Description

APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MONTHS AGO, I BEGIN HEARING A WHINNING SOUND COMING FROM MY 2006 TAURUS AFTER I STARTED THE CAR AND BEGIN TO DRIVE. THE SOUND INTENSIFIED WHENEVER I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. I BELIEVE THERE IN A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING AND I FEEL THE STEERING SYSTEM IS SOON TO GO OUT BECAUSE THIS NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER. ALSO, DURING COLD WEATHER THIS PAST WINTER, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. ON ONE OCCASION, I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR AND DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ANY DRIVER. I CONTACTED A MECHANIC REGARDING THE LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING AND HE SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS GOING OUT AND POSSIBLY VERY SOON. *TR
