Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WHEN TRYING TO PARK OR MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED. I AM IN GOOD SHAPE AND IT TAKES ME ALL MY POWER WITH TWO HANDS TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE IS NO WARNING IT CATCHES YOU OFF GUARD AND MULTIPLE TIMES ALMOST HIT CARS IN SPOTS NEXT TO WHERE I PARK. WE ALSO HAVE HAD THE AIR CONDITIONING FIXED TWICE SINCE WE'VE BOUGHT IT AND STILL DOESN'T BLOW AS COLD AS IT SHOULD. THE CAR HAS 78,000 MILES.
