Consumer Description
POWER ASSIST STEERING SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WAS INOPERATIVE DURING A TURN. VEHICLE CROSSED THE LANE MARKER INTO TRAFFIC AND NARROWLY MISSED A COLLISION WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL. TOOK TO A DEALER SHIP (GLOCKNER OF ASHLAND KY) AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 WEEKS AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO CODES PRESENT IN THE COMPUTER OR WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH INDICATING A MALFUNCTION. 3 DAYS LATER I TOOK IT TO KUNES COUNTRY OF MACOMB IL AND THEY DETERMINED THE POWER RACK STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACED AT A COST OF $2,430. I DECLINED. WILL FIX MYSELF. NEW UNIT FROM DETROIT AXLE IS $1,399. VEHICLE HAD 44,800 MILES AT THE TIME OF MALFUNCTION. *TT
