STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
I WAS ASSIGNED THIS BUICK REGAL WITH 33,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS HAD A CHATTER WHILE TURNING CORNERS. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT KELLEY BUICK THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP DID NOT MEET SPECS. OUR COMPANY HAS ANOTHER IDENTICAL REGAL THAT SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP AT 25,000 MILES. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE CARS? *AK

IN ADDITION, WHEN OPERATING WINDSHIELD WIPERS DURING RAIN, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WIPER STOPS AND DROPS ACCUMULATED WATER IN DRIVER'S VISION.
