Consumer Description

POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE. AT LOW SPEEDS WHEEL BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS. DEALER QUOTED ALMOST $1600 TO REPLACE. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE STEERING WORKED ON ONCE BEFORE AFTER HAVING DIFFICULTY TURNING THE WHEEL. AS IT IS OVER 3 YEARS SINCE THEN, I AM TOLD THE COST IS DUE FROM ME IN FULL.
