Consumer Description

while driving on I40 east of Ashville, the power steering became sluggish. like turning in molasses. I had to manhandle the steering wheel to complete the turns (at 70 mpg). My wife also drove on I40 and felt the same thing I was feeling. The next 3 days it did not do it again, I was driving in town. Later I felt it while going on a curve at about 62 mph. This also happened to be going up an incline. Earlier on i40 it did not mapper if going up hill or down hill.
