STEERING:RACK AND PINION
I WAS VERY ALARMED WHEN MY CAR LOST ALL STEERING CAPABILITY. WHY WOULD SOMETHING JUST BRAKE LIKE THAT. I HAD 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AND HAD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET BACK TO MY HOME TOWN WHICH WAS 45 MINUTES AWAY. I FEEL THAT OTHERS ARE AT RISK IF MY CAR COULD DO THAT TO ME WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT THE SPEED LIMIT WE PROBABLY WOULD OF BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I FEEL A RECALL FOR THE RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I ENDED UP SPENDING 895.74 PLUS AN ADDITIONAL 45.00 FOR TOWING TO FIX THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. WHAT A DISAPOINTMENT IT WAS!
