Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING APROX 40 MPH ON A CITY STREET THE DIC STATES I'M LOW ON FUEL (I HAD 3/4 OF A TANK) POWER STEERING LOW AND THE CAR WOULD JERK WHEN I GAVE IT GAS I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND WAS NEVER TOLD OF THESE RECALLS WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD BEEN REPLACED IN 2010 AND I WAS TO PAY FOR IT TO GET IT FIXED. ITS A VERY SAD THING TODAY THAT NO ONE WANTS TO REALLY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, SO NOW AT 70YRS OLD, ON A VERY TIGHT FIXED INCOME I WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH MAYBE A COST OF $2000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM
