Consumer Description

Aug 23 2022. Vehicle had 130,800 miles at time of failure. Vehicle began to pull to the right; turning left became very difficult. Parked vehicle for several hours, then drove it again. Steering power assist had completely failed. "Service Power Steering Now" message appeared on instrument panel. Vehicle was extremely difficult to steer both right and left. Required extreme effort to turn steering wheel, and was impossible to turn wheel to full extent of travel in either direction. (I am not a small person - 6ft 3in, 195 pounds.) Took vehicle to dealer, was told that power steering rack had failed. Part was not in stock. Part became available and vehicle was repaired on 30 Aug 2022. Total cost of repair was $2,262.57. '
