Consumer Description

CAR HAS AROUND 87,000 MILES. WHILE LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY THE WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN, AS IF THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE STEERING IS ON AND OFF WITH THE POWER STEERING. TOOK IT TO PRIVATE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1200. REALLY SUCKS BECAUSE WE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 1000 MILES AGO. AFTER LOOKING ON LINE I FIND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL?
