Consumer Description

MY CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER I HAD STOPPED TO GET A HAIR CUT. I CLEANED THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. I MANAGED TO DRIVE IT A HALF BLOCK TO A NAPA DEALER SO I COULD REPLACE THE BATTERY AND I WAS GOING TO BUY SOME POWER STEERING FLUID. I WAS SURPRISED I COULD NOT EVEN FIND THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR. AFTER I REPLACED THE BATTERY THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. REALLY SCARY NOW AFTER I RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT THAN MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE STEERING GO OUT WHEN THEY WERE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. NOT SURE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS.
