Consumer Description

POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT A FEW TIMES IN MY FLEX. FIRST TIME WAS AFTER IT WAS PARKED, THE WHEELS WERE TURNED OUT, IT WAS STARTED, AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND MANEUVER THE VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT. SECOND TIME, WAS THIS MIRING, I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE ON OUR STREET IT WAS AGAIN VERY HARD TO STEER. BOTH TIMES WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, IT WAS LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG.
