| 2006 | STEERING | I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TAMPA WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A "DINGING" NOISE. I THEN REALIZED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO GET HARD TO TURN. I LOOKED AT THE INFORMATION SCREEN ON MY DASHBOARD AND IT SAID 'POWER STEERING'. I WASN'T SURE WHAT TO DO SO I RESTARTED MY CAR AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WHILE DRIVING IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT INTO THE NEAREST CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE GENTLEMEN INFORMED ME THE POWER STEERING HAD INDEED GONE OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HE ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE BACK TO WHERE I'M STATIONED AT BECAUSE I'M NOT OLD ENOUGH TO RENT A CAR AND NEEDED TO REPORT OFF LEAVE. ON THE WAY BACK MY POWER STEERING WENT OFF AND THIS TIME AFTER I RESTARTED MY CAR IT WENT OUT AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY BASE I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST BETWEEN $1000 TO $1200. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLACE THE PART AS OF YET AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. *TR |
