Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 20 MPH OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND TURNING LEFT, I HEARD A LOUD WHINING SOUND AND FELT A "THUMP" WITH SOME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE THE SAME SOUND WHEN MAKING SHARPER TURNS, LIKE GOING INTO A PARKING SPACE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE A POWER STEERING LEAK AND NEED A NEW STEERING RACK TO THE TUNE OF $1300-1600 REPAIR! THIS CAR ONLY HAS 33,146 MILES. *TR
