Consumer Description

APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE I LOOKED AT IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS OIL I CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS FINE, A FRIEND MENTIONED RACK AND PINION SO I LOOKED THERE AND THAT'S WHERE THE LEAKING CAME FROM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GARAGE FOR PROFESSIONAL OPINION WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY$1.200 TO REPAIR, HE ALSO FOUND A BAD MOTOR MOUNT. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY AT THIS TIME TO INVEST INTO THE NEEDED REPAIRS. PLEASE CONTACT ME ABOUT ANY RECALLS THAT RELATE TO THIS PROBLEM.THANK YOU
