| Description of the problem | Turning onto a driveway when leakage started from the steering box. The previous week had noticed wobbles at 55 mi./hr. Hitting pot holes sent me to the opposing lane. Already had suspension ( sway bars, pitman are, steering linkage redone after tie rod broke. Still no one can figure where there's a leak in the cooling system. Had to do body work out of pocket due to taking out a fence because of a defected tie rod,and paid for the tie rod, sway bars and links before i got the recall notice! Took it in for recall on steering box, dealership did not replace because it was working fine at the time. Now i have toe expenses and loss of wages because it finally broke. |
