Consumer Description

PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUTWITHOUT ANY WARNING. LIGHT CAME ON SAYING SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. I LIVE ON A COUNTRY ROAD SPEED LIMIT IS 55 MPH. I WAS LUCKY TO GET MY TRUCK BACK INTO MY LANE BEFORE A CAR COMING HEADED ON WAS UPON ME. I AM LUCKY I DID NOT HAVE A HEAD CRASH. HAD YRUCK SERVICED A COST OF $2034.64 TO FIX THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 40,614 MILES ON THE IT. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SO MUCH. PLUS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DOES OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ONLY WARRANTY THIS FIX FOR TWO YEARS. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WITH SO MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS ADVANCE TRAC.
