Consumer Description

POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER, ALTERNATOR FAILED AND I WAS TOLD THIS WAS BECAUSE OF BEING SATURATED WITH THE FLUID FROM PREVIOUS FAILURE. NOW THIS... WIFE WAS DRIVING CAR HOME WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SUDDENLY THE CAR BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD 'WOBBLE.' THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT MY WIFE MADE IT HOME SLOWLY. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED POWER STEERING FLUID AND RESERVOIR AND IT WAS LOW. FILLED IT UP WITH LEFTOVER HONDA FLUID AND LEAKED IMMEDIATELY FROM THE DRIVER RUBBER BOOT NEAR RACK AND PINION. RACK AND PINION NOW NEEDS REPLACEMENT FROM A MASSIVE LEAK. THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND PLACING MANY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING.
