Consumer Description

IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING OR HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, MY POWER STEERING WILL RANDOMLY GO OUT. SOMETIMES I CAN MAKE IT AN ENTIRE TRIP WITHOUT IT GOING AND SOMETIMES I CANT EVEN GET OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE BEFORE IT GOES. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO TO WORK IS TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. IVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WAS DEAD. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS PART AND I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY SOME OF THE NEWER HHRS ARE BEING RECALLED AND THE 2007 IS NOT WHEN THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES OF THE SAME NATURE. MY CAR IS NEAR ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND I LIVE NEAR A HIGH VOLUME POPULATION AND I AM AFRAID THAT MY LACK OF BEING ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
