Complaint Summary
STEERING
Owner Narrative
POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS ENTERING AN INTERSECTION AFTER A RED LIGHT HALF A MILE FROM MY HOME. I WAS STARTING TO TURN LEFT WHEN IT WENT OUT, LEAVING ME UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO BARELY DODGE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND CONTINUE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULL INTO AN EMPTY LOT. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THE STEERING GEAR AND DRIVER SIDE AXLE SEAL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 56,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A COLLISION.
