Consumer Description

I get in car and start it. When I begin to turn steering wheel, it's very, very, very hard to turn. This happens while I am driving and when The car in park. It has been happening off and on on since 2016. I never understood why and didn't know why. Until I took it to get oil checked and asked how to put power steering fluid in the car.
