Consumer Description

AT LOW RATES OF SPEED WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE CAR LOSES POWER STEERING FOR A COUPLE SECONDS THEN REENGAGES. THIS CAUSES YOU TO OVER STEER ONCE THE POWER STEERING REENGAGES WHICH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS CAUSES NEAR ACCIDENTS WITH OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND WE ARE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. WE HAVE HAD THE RACK AND PINION LOOKED AT AND REPLACED BY THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BECAUSE OF LOW WHINING NOISES AT LOW SPEEDS AND OTHER PROBLEMS.
