STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY, CAR BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME WE HAVE LOST POWER STEERING IN THIS VEHICLE IN THE 10 MONTHS WE'VE OWNED IT (SINCE NEW.) PRIOR LOSSES DID NOT OCCUR SUDDENLY AND WERE PRECEDED BY LOUD NOISES WHEN TURNING WHEEL. THIS INCIDENT CAUSED ALARM BECAUSE IT CAME WITHOUT WARNING. *TR
