Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN WHEN THE STEERING FELT LIKE THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW. IT BECAME HARDER TO TURN AND AFTER COMPLETING A TURN I HAD TO USE BOTH HANDS, HAND OVER HAND, TO GET THE CAR STRAIGHT AGAIN. PICTURE TURNING LEFT FROM A COUNTY ROAD ONTO A STATE HIGHWAY, AND WHEN YOU WANT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE TRUCK IT CONTINUES INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS SEEMS WORSE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD VERSUS AFTER IT HAS WARMED UP. THIS SIX CYLINDER ENGINE DOES NOT HAVE HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING WITH FLUID, BET RATHER AN ELECTRICAL POWER ASSIST MOTOR.
