Consumer Description

AL OF THE SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WENT ON APRIL 8 WHEN I STARTED TO WORK. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM ON THE WAY TO WORK, WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I PULLED OVER FOR A MINUTE UNTIL I GOT HOME. I SPOKE WITH MY HUBBY WHO SAID I SHOULD CALL THE DEALER. WE PROCEEDED TO CHECK THE INTERNET FOR ANY OTHER PROBLEMS THAT HAD BEEN REPORTED TO FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND I COULD NOT. I TREASURE MY LIFE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED 2 YEARS AGO AND HAD PROBLEMS IN TURNING-A CLICKING WHEN I TURNED RIGHT OR LEFT-THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY THE GARAGE. CAN THIS BE FIXED--THAT IS THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM AND PAID FOR BY THE DEALER? OH I WAS ON AN INTERCITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT. CAN THE DEALER BUY THE CAR BACK FROM ME OR PAY FOR THE REPAIRS? AS I MENTIONED, I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. SHOULD I TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER OR GARAGE OR WAIT TO TALK WITH YOU?
