Consumer Description

HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN I GO TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR EMPTY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE RACK AND PINION IS NO GOOD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1900.00. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS, I HAVE A CO-WORKER WHO BOUGHT THE SAME TRUCK I DID, IN THE SAME MONTH I DID. HIS HAS 145,000 MILES AND HIS RACK AND PINION WENT OUT TWO WEEKS AGO. LESS THAN 10,000 MILES BETWEEN THESE INCIDENTS IS QUITE A COINCIDENCE.
