| Description of the problem | Steering-at approximately 70,000 miles, the power steering fluid began to require attention. At present, i have to add fluid every 3-4 weeks. My son has a pick-up, same year, same model and has the same problem. Yesterday, in a parking lot, another motorist informed me that, he too, had the same problem, only worse. He pointed to a puddle on the ground-steering fluid. *jb |
