Consumer Description

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND LIST ALL POWER STEERING. EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE BUT I'M UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT ALL NOW. THE DASHBOARD SHOWS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING INDICATOR I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS FOR THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE BUT WHEN I RUN MY VIN NUMBER IT DOESN'T PROVIDE ME WITH ANY RECALLS FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE SO THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE REPAIRS. NOW I'M LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND MY VEHICLE IS HOW I MAKE MY MONEY TO PAY MY BILLS. THE COST TO REPAIR IS OUTRAGEOUS. I'M GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING ANY FASTER BECAUSE IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I DID CALL THE 800 NUMBER FOR RECALLS AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE.
