Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THE POWER STEERING PUMP RECALL FIXED TWICE NOW ON MY CAR. LAST TIME WAS OCTOBER OF 2020, AND FINALLY IN JANUARY OF 2021 IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. NORMALLY I CAN DRIVE IT TO WHEREVER WITHOUT TOO MUCH ISSUE, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE YESTERDAY. I STARTED MY CAR BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK, GOT IN TO LEAVE AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS ON. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT, AS IT IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION, AND DID NOT GET FAR. IT JERKED AROUND VIOLENTLY, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THEN BECAME HARD TO STEER. AFTER I LET IT SIT ALL DAY AND TRIED AGAIN, IT STILL WAS ACTING UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE WITHOUT EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT EVEN START AFTER THAT TRY. I AM AT A LOSS AND AM FURIOUS AS THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE AFTER BEING FIXED TWICE.
