| 2005 | STEERING | POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY WAS "REPLACED" UNDER THE RECALL, BUT STILL CONTINUALLY GOES OUT OFF AND ON. VERY UNSAFE!! *TR |
| 2006 | STEERING | THE POWER STEERING ON MY CAR BECAME VERY "TIGHT" AND DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE STEERING PROBLEM PULLED MY CAR INTO THE LANE OF THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. I JERKED MY WHEEL AND WENT OFF OF THE ROAD. I DID PREVENT AN ACCIDENT FROM OCCURRING BUT EVERY SINCE THEN MY POWER STEERING HAS BEEN DIFFICULT. IF I TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON SOMETIMES IT RESETS THE POWER STEERING PUT SHORTLY AFTER I START DRIVING I HEAR A DINGING AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND ONCE AGAIN IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER MY CAR. I REPORTED THIS TO THE PLACE I BOUGHT MY CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY FELT THERE WOULD BE A RECALL. THEN TODAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2010, I HEARD THE NEWS REPORTS SO I FIGURED I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT ALSO. *TR |
