Consumer Description

AT 40 THOUSAND MILES THE RACK AND PINION NEED REPLACED. THERE IS A LEAK COMING FROM THIS PART. I WAS NOTIFIED DURING AN OIL CHANGE THAT THE REPAIR ISN'T NORMAL AND WOULD COST $1,200. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. STEERING IS A LITTLE WHINY NOW BUT ACCORDING TO OTHER OWNERS, THIS IS THE START OF THE FAILURE.
