STEERING:RACK AND PINION
VEHICLE BACKED OUT OF A PARKING PLACE, AND WHEN I BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN, EVEN WITH FORCE. A "SQUOOSHING" NOISE WAS HEARD. AFTER A MOMENT, THE STEERING WHEEL AGAIN WOULD TURN SO I WENT STRAIGHT HOME (APPROX. 1 1/2 MILES). HAD CAR IN SHOP NEXT DAY FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD RACK & PINION BAD. DEALERSHIP SAID MFGR NOT RESPONSIBLE DUE TO AGE OF CAR. I DON'T FEEL THIS ITEM SHOULD'VE FAILED AT ONLY 5 YRS AND LESS THAN 100K MILES.*AK
