SECONDLY THE STEERING WHEEL SQUEAKS WHEN TURNING IT TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT, ESPECIALLY AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT AND RIGHT TURN. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IS AT THE NORMAL LEVEL. THIRDLY, I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000 MILES AND HAVE NOTICE TWICE THAT THE MOTOR BURNS UP ALMOST A QUART OF OIL EVERY 3000 MILES, I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT THE VEHICLE TAKE 5 QUARTS OF OIL. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 4 CYLINDER, SO IT SHOULD TAKE 4 QUARTS. HOWEVER, THEY TELL ME TO CHECK AGAIN. I HAVE A FORD ESCORT WAGON 1982, AND I NEVER HAD THE PROBLEMS THAT THIS FORD ESCORT 1998 IS HAVING.
